Comment 3 for bug 1614536

What's weird is that old dates are not always reused:

# date

# service tomcat7 restart
 * Stopping Tomcat servlet engine tomcat7 [ OK ]
 * Starting Tomcat servlet engine tomcat7 [ OK ]

# ll -tr /var/log/tomcat7/

Here, only lnhpd-catalina.2016-08-17.log has the wrong date, the others are fine.
