newsyslog: nonexistent time for 'at' value

[Rob W.]

newsyslog: nonexistent time for 'at' value:
/var/log/ipfw/ipfw.log 600  10*$W0D2 Z

I keep getting this message emailed to me. I don't have any entries in crontab 
or syslog. Anybody know what this is and how do I get rid of it?

Scratch that, I found it out. It's in /etc/newsyslog.conf. I had an entry 
located in there.

You sure you don't have a line like this in /etc/crontab?

0   *   *   *   *   rootnewsyslog

It looks like newsyslog is having problems parsing that $W0D2 value,
but it works okay for me.  Possibly the timezone you are in has a DST
switch that skips directly from 1:59 to 3:00 next Sunday, which means
there is no 2:00, which is why newsyslog is complaining.
