Bug in Performance Data

[Ethan Galstad]

Are there any message in the Nagios log file that relate to detected 
time changes?

The (stated) execution time for these checks is approx 542 days, which 
is strange.  Most time issues would show just a few hours offset, not 
almost 2 years time.

What times are reflected in the status.dat file?  Are you sure your CGI 
script is reading/processing the correct values from that file?
