Description

When using wildcard patterns in the configfile logadm will record the timestamps of all matched and rotated files in the timestamp file.
If the config file is then edited using logadm -w or logadm -r these timestamps can not be matched to existing rules in the configfile and will end up beeing written back into it.

This is confusing, especially when the patterns match many files and the configfile becomes huge.
