Hmm. Now I look at it more clearly like...
 # grep '^<unknown-3556' lt001.18RT/lt.02
I can see what you mean. Though this time it moved from one [22 usec]
to zero [189 usec] and back to one [238 usec] before it finally stopped
the trace at 248 usec. [the attempt to reschedule on CPU zero was
clearly ineffective]

This trace is also odd in that the duration of the trace in the header is
listed as 99 usec (and the application confirmed that) but the trace
ends at 248 usec.

Hmm. Now that I look at it, the duration in the header (99 usec) is the
duration of lt.01 (as reported by the script) but the total duration
of the trace (248 usec) is the duration from the script for lt.02.
