Subject: Strange date problem

When I run Pine as root to check it's mail, it says on startup: "[Unable
to parse internal date: 27-Aug-1956 21:16:38-LCL]". When I do pine as
another user, this doesn't happen. I've sync'ed my time with the
nist.gov server many times, with both the hardware clock and system
clock.
I also get this message daily in root from the cron daemon:
"/etc/cron.daily/logrotate:
error: bad year 1956 for file /var/log/messages in state file
/var/lib/logrotate.status"
How do I fix this? Is my hardware clock battery dead? How do I find that
out?
