logreport giving dates in 1969 on exim logs

[Joe Patterson]

When I run an exim log through

'bin/lr_run lr_log2report /tmp/error email exim'

I get a *very* long report, starting in 1969.  Since I wasn't using exim in
1969, I suspect this is in error.  :)  The head of the report says:

Report generated: 2001-12-17 09:45:37 EST
Reporting on period:
1969-12-31 19:00:00 EST - 2001-12-16 06:15:44 EST

I would assume this is due to incorrect handling of a null, zero, or
negative value.

I'm also getting an error message (which may be related or not) when running
the above command.  The error message is:

email all lr_tag-20011217111154-20253 exim2dlf warning Use of uninitialized
value in subtraction (-) at
/root/projects/logreport/libexec/lire/email/exim2dlf line 198, <> line 8180.

This error repeats many times.  The first line number doesn't change, the
second one does.

It seems that the second line numbers correspond to log entries such as:

2001-12-15 06:38:01 16DoRz-0003Jq-00 == excursionpilot at charter.net
T=remote_smtp defer (-44): retry time not reached for any host

Could it be that that "-44" is causing problems?

I'm using the version from lire-full-20011205.tar.gz.  Anyone else
experienced this?  Any thoughts on what might be the cause?  Anything I
could do to fix it?

Thanks,
