I renamed any logs ending in -23.log to -00.log and something weird has
now happened...

when you go into any of the history files it will say 

log file navigation
fri jul 18 00:00:00 GMT 2003
to
Sat jul 19 00:00:00 GMT 2003

But all the dates displayed in the log are from Jul 19 00:00:00 GMT or
later...  The logs appear to have shifted a day...
