[Summary-Talk] Mysterious Dates

[Mike Varian <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I just tried to upgrade my summary to 2.5.5 from 2.5.  I simply
killed the process, swapped in the new binary, and started it back
up.  I found that everything worked and processed correctly, however
now I had thousands of strange entries.  For example, here is a snip
of my daily visitors report:

01/17/38         0         0         0         0         0B         0
       01/17/38         0         0         0         0
0B         0
       01/17/38         0         0         0         0
0B         0
       01/17/38         0         0         0         0
0B         0
       01/17/38         0         0         0         0
0B         0
       01/17/38         0         0         0         0
0B         0
       01/17/38         0         0         0         0
0B         0
       01/17/38         0         0         0         0
0B         0
       01/17/38         0         0         0         0
0B         0
       01/17/38         0         0         0         0
0B         0

With a hundred or so pages full of these entries, you can imagine the
adverse affect it has on the rest of my reports.  However, all of the
legitimate data is correctly processed and represented.

Nothing is out of the ordinary with my program status:

Log files         269
       Log file lines         6,160,558
       Corrupt log lines         0
       Skipped log lines         0
       Valid log entries         6,160,558
       Filtered log entries         0
       Log size in MBytes         1,483.0M
       Logs on disk in MBytes         1,483.0M
       Time to crunch         1:37
       Log processing         917.3 Meg/min
       Log processing         63,511 lines/sec


I tried downgrading back to 2.5, thinking maybe I had a corrupt log
file that 2.5.5 now was seeing, and I found that these mysterious
dates were still there.

I then upgraded back to 2.5.5 and set a hard starting date of 1/1/04,
hoping it'd just ignore them, that didn't have an effect.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
Mike
