Following a system crash I had to reinstall Windows XP. This caused me to lose data in a sunrise/moonset database on my PC. To recover the data I had to "rewind" the PC's clock and calendar back a couple of months. I then reset the time and date to now, but all new SETI work units are showing up as "Priority work unit". The message log identifies that the system clock was rewound. How or when will this problem resolve itself?

In a couple of months.

There is a code fix to be released in 6.6.
