#21 Initial card review = interval too long

[flight16]

I'm not sure if this is a bug or not, but it seems weird to me.

I've created new cards (that get an interval of three, a creation date of the
date, and a last quizzed date of 1969/1970). When I rate a card a 6, then
look at its details, it shows that the current interval is now around 30
days! A month away. Is this expected?

I only waited about a day before quizzing after the card was drilled and
"right" was selected...

Is the error somewhere around

// Add on the extra days since ideal quiz date, max of 30
if (q > 3) {
qDelta = today - head->qDate;
if (qDelta < 30)
I += (Int32) qDelta;
else
I += 30;
}

The Quiz Date for a new card is 1969/1970, so of course qDelta will be >
30 for the first review.

I don't know enough about the date format it's using, but could we check
for qDate being -1 or 0 (initial values for a new card)?

Yes, that is what is causing the 30 day interval, but I'm
not sure how it got to that point. It's true that when a
card is first created, it has a quiz date of 0 (which is
converted to 1969), but as soon as a card is marked
memorized, then the quiz date is set to 'today + 1'.

I've had this code in place for a long time, and I've never
seen this problem before. Something is causing the quiz
date to not be set when the card is marked memorized...

This may or may not be related.

I have my date format set to YYYY.MM.DD and 24 hour time. When I created a
card on the palm and imported it back to TwinkEdit, the dates created are Jan
2007 and Nov 2051. The intervals are both huge negative numbers (which may
not matter).

Have you been able to find a repeatable way that I can reproduce this bug?
