Synopsis: newsyslog: malformed date error

State-Changed-From-To: open->closed
State-Changed-By: cjc
State-Changed-When: Tue Apr 2 03:29:17 PST 2002
State-Changed-Why: 
Not a bug. newsyslog(8) calculates when the next roll over should
be. It will find it to be Sun Apr  7 02:00:00 PDT 2002. However, that
is a nonexistent time. That's the conversion to Daylight time. Clocks
roll from Sun Apr  7 01:59:59 PDT 2002 to Sun Apr  7 03:00:00 PDT
2002.

newsyslog(8) is properly (although vaguely) telling you that that time
is not a good choice and will not work correctly.
