Missing log to "daylight savings" time change

Hi list,

Here in Brazil we've entered in a "daylight savings period" yesterday, 
and looking at /usr/local/nagios/var/archives, we've found that the 
nagios-11-02-2004.log is missing.

When this happens (normally because of NTP issues; yes, I read the 
FAQs), we search for nagios mm-dd-yyyy.-23.log and we overwrite it to 
nagios mm-(dd+1)-yyyy-00.log, correcting perfectly the situation.

But in this case, the nagios-11-01-2004-23.log has only 33 bytes, which 
makes me wonder Nagios has lost all this log. So all collected data from 
Nov, 1st. disappeared, impacting the availability reports.

Is it a bug, or there's a way to solve it?
Does anyone have experienced this problem?

Just for documentation, I'm using Nagios1.2, but in a old 1.0b6 server 
occurs the same situation. Also searched through all messages in 
archives, but no clue found so far.

Thanks in advance for any hint/suggestion/solution,

SMV
