A fix for the history date bug...

For a while now, OmniWeb has had this small but annoying bug where the 
history list will show multiple folders labeled 'today' when viewed in 
a separate history window.  For people like me who often leave OmniWeb 
running for a week or more at a time, it makes the history a lot harder 
to deal with since you end up with a whole list of 'today' folders.  
The fix for this is to quit and relaunch OmniWeb, but this is kind of a 
pain.

For other people bothered by this problem, I just came up with a 
workable solution.  Create a cron job which quits OmniWeb each night 
(perhaps through an applescript), and then another one which relaunches 
it a few minutes later.  Thus, every day OmniWeb will have been freshly 
launched the night before and the history list will be correct.

;-)

Does this fix inspire any OmniWeb developers to fix the bug?  ;-)
