I'm guessing you are using MPE from MPICH1 to create your clog file. The
old MPE logging in MPICH1 has not been updated for few years. All our
effort is currently in MPE2 which is shipped with MPICH2.  MPE2 does
provide user-defined logging API to define/log "single timestamp" event.
MPE2 logging generates CLOG2 format which is more efficient than CLOG.
You can download the latest MPE2 from http://www.mcs.anl.gov/perfvis.
For sample programs to define/log single timestamp event, e.g. see
mpe2/src/wrappers/test/cpilog.c.  You may also want to check the manpages
for the newer MPE logging functions.
