Just a thought....

I think six strings creeping up an octave can only happen in a parallel universe, Jim, you know the one, where pigs fly ...

The only thing I know of that will make strings tighten up is the cold. If you tune up outdoors on a summers day, then bring your guitar into an airconditioned room, you'll see the tuning go up in pitch, but only slightly. Other than that, I can't imagine anything that would increase tension.
