You really should update to a more recent version. There were many
problems with 2.3.1. See <http://summary.net/updates.html>.

If your logs end before midnight or processing is done before midnight
you might see this.

If you are running in incremental mode and you logs end before 12:30 AM
then visits that are in progress at midnight will not get counted until
the next day. Visits are not counted until they expire, which won't
happen until Summary sees log entries for half an hour later.

Dr. Seuss books . . . can be read and enjoyed on several levels. For
example, 'One Fish Two Fish, Red Fish Blue Fish' can be deconstructed
as a searing indictment of the narrow-minded binary counting system.
