There's one thing I'm not clear on: what is in those rotated log files
for John?  Is it the verbatim data that was in the current logs, piped
through messagewallstats without being changed?  Or is
messagewallstats doing some sort of processing?  If there's no
processing going on, then I'd skip the patch and use the "cat
previous" method.  (I would have suggested that the first time around,
if I had understood that messagewallstats isn't doing any processing.)
OTOH, if messagewallstats is doing some processing, then of course
"cat previous" won't work for John, and John's patch won't work for
Robin, since they want different behavior.
