Could you please open the CONFIG file exported by Mnemogogo (using
Notepad or similar) and check the line that begins with "start_date="
and "start_days="?

Normally, these values should be "1970-01-01" and "0", respectively,
but they may be "1969-12-31" and "-1", in which case the schedule in
Mnemododo will be one day off.

The discrepancy with start_date and start_days caused this problem for
somebody else. I still haven't figured out why the exported values are
incorrect (and why the problem was only reported so recently), but I
will do so soon.

@Peter, did the start date adjustments during upgrade from Mnemosyne
1.x change within the last four or so months?

Actually, it's more of a workaround than a solution, since I don't yet
understand how this situation arises!

OK. That shouldn't cause any major problems.

I would like to try to understand what is happening before releasing
an updated version of Mnemogogo.

Would it trouble you to send me a zipped copy of your Mnemosyne
database by private mail? I promise to respect your privacy.
