I don't see a serial number (SHF80803DBC) here. I see:

MOODLEID_ %25ED%25C3%251CC%25B7d

[root at schoolserver idmgr]# ./list_registration 
Listing students from  /home/idmgr/identity.db
Parikrama 28	SHF80803DBC

I suspect that I lost the log for my initial registration. As an 
experiment, I registered another XO laptop:

[root at schoolserver idmgr]# ./list_registration 
Listing students from  /home/idmgr/identity.db
Parikrama 28	SHF80803DBC	
Parikrama 22	SHF80803F68	

The next cron run did not show anything interesting (as far as I can 
tell):

The MOODLEID_ for the 2nd laptop (on the client side) looked much the 
same: %25ED%25C3%251CC%25B7d

No errors of interest here.
