Bug 29593

GemStone/S

6.3.1, 6.3, 6.2.x, 6.2, 6.1.6, 6.1.5, 6.1.4, 6.1.3, 6.1.2, 6.1.1, 6.1

Log timestamps may be misleading on idle systems

Beginning in GS/S 6.1, only the first log file entry of the day
will include the full timestamp, for example:
   [Sun 03 Aug 2003 12:32:20 Pacific Daylight Time]

Later log entries on the same day include the hour, minute, second,
and millisecond:
   [12:35:54.12]

An entry in the log, that comes after a multiple of 24-hour periods
have passed without any log entries (an idle stone), will print
the time in the shorter format.  The system will see that the hour
is the same, and not recognize the need for a full timestamp.  This
may be misleading as to which day the second event actually occurred.
