- I ran an exec to check and have found that this "Article is too old"
- message has occurred 549 times between last Wednesday morning and this morning
- on our system. I put in a partial trace in the code to see if I can figure
- anything out. And much like Doron has stated, this does sound like an old bug.
- However, we are running version 2.4.3 and took care of this bug long ago
- thanks to a fix which Doron came up with. How could it have resurfaced?
- Is it the fact that we just left a leap year and are now in a non-leap
- year?
