I patched scanlogs accordingly and now the unwanted.log looks
much better, thx!

The only strange (?) thing I've noticed is that unwanted.log
and OLD/unwanted.log.1.gz are identical. So if you want
yesterday's stage of the unwanted.log, you'll need to access
OLD/unwanted.log.2.gz. For all other logs files, yesterday's 
stage is the 1.gz version.

That behaviour was different with INN-1.x:

[~/log]$ head -3 unwanted.log 
282906 alt.chello.binaries 
153457 alt.binaries.sounds.mp3 
107771 alt.binaries.movies 

[~/log]$ zcat OLD/unwanted.log.1.Z | head -3
263338 alt.chello.binaries 
136469 alt.binaries.sounds.mp3 
100754 alt.binaries.movies 

So OLD/unwanted.log.1.Z is yesterday's stage (as one would
expect).

This is INN-2.3.3pre with your patch:

[~/log]$ head -3 unwanted.log 
158 rec.pets.cats
90 comp.os.linux
84 comp.databases.postgresql.general

[~/log]$ zcat OLD/unwanted.log.1.gz | head -3
158 rec.pets.cats
90 comp.os.linux
84 comp.databases.postgresql.general

unwanted.log and OLD/unwanted.log.1.gz are the same, yesterday's
stage is OLD/unwanted.log.2.gz.

But I can live with that, I'm happy enough that unwanted.log is
something useful again. ;-)
