Below is the first part of my logs. Notice the lack of "Kill Log Started at..." header at the top of the file, as well as the lack of first timestamp, and the missing timestamp later on (the cluster of names and guns)

This never happened until you set up a log writing buffer for the kill logs

I thought I was the only one getting this (the logs are created fine on my Windows dedicated server as far as I know, but my Linux one generates logs like this):

My stats parser obviously doesn't like this, and shows completely wrong stats too.
I just thought about writing a stats fixer that fixes my existing killlogs, and making my parser reparse them, but it would be great if this was fixed, so I don't have to do that in future.

EDIT. Oh, I just noticed my linux server still runs old dedicated server (2.2.8), does 2.2.9 fix this?
The readme file says:
"- fixed beginning of log files"
But the fact that the problem isn't only in the beginning of log files, make me wonder, are the missing timestamps bug fixed too?
Thanks-

EDIT2. Tried few games with the new dedicated server, and seems to be completely fixed. A confirmation would be appreciated though. I also wrote a log file fixer for the improper log files, that makes them proper. If anyone needs this, tell me and I give you the source (note. written in PHP).
