MKT: action at the close?

Strange (to me) price action at today's close.  $TICK spiked
from -470 at approx 3:15 EDT to +792 at 3:50PM.  I show the S&P
Dec futures contract at 962.20 at 4:01PM, and then a wicked drop to
954.00 at the close.  Did that really happen, or is this a
data glitch?  Any explainations?  (it sure looks like someone
took the market up with a buy program, and then went short
big time at the close).  The execution on stop-loss orders
must've been horrible.
