Problem Description:
====================
 * Not sure which project (ust or tools) this one should be reported to...

 * (Streaming is used when this issue has been encountered)
   When repeating the same test condition a couple of time, we notice that the total filesize
   of the session directory varies quite a bit and a propper explaination can not be deducted 
   for why they differ. It ranges from ~300KB to 1.4MB even if the session only contain 
   a close amount of trace logs.

   The following summary is extracted from the printouts of the last 2 lines 
   of the test instructions below at different run number:
       :
       babeltrace $TC | grep -c $DOMAIN_EVENT
       du -h $TC | tail -n 1 

       --switch-timer   Run#   Number of lines     Size of session
                               seen by babeltrace  directory
       ==============   ====   ==================  ===============
         1000000        1      1760                1.4M
         1000000        2      2002                0.38M
         1000000        3      1691                1.5M
         0              1      1655                1.4M
         0              2      2064                0.24M
         0              3      1943                0.78M

 * When babeltrace run1 (switchTimer 1sec) above, the total file size
   of the output of babeltrace is only about 400K. Why is the corresponding
   CTF binary take more than triple that size ?

 * When trying to run the above without streaming, another fault is encountered
   (will be reported in a separated bug) and therefore, no comparision can be made.

Is problem reproducible ?
=========================
  * yes
