[Nikto-discuss] Wrong start and End Scan time in xml report

I'm not sure if this helps since I'm using the latest stable 2.1.4 but 
I've noticed some bugs as well. Here are the example times (roughly but 
correct) the command started and finished according to a process that 
ran nikto:

started: 2011-10-31 07:29:27
finished: 2011-10-31 07:29:49

But if you look at the attached nikto xml output you'll see a couple 
problems:

1.) Dates incrementing instead of rolling: e.g. 2011-10-32 00:29:37
2.) Some years look uninitiated: e.g. Wed Dec 31 17:00:00 1969
3.) Different date formats: date 1 vs date 2 above
4.) scanstart and scanend are incorrect

BTW, it ran GMT-7. Anyways, hope this helps clear up the problem.
