file index warning: wrong number of days and won't go away

I selfupdated on a machine I haven't selfupdated for about 3

months (no more than 120 days anyway), and after installing

the latest unstable fink it told me

WARNING: your info file index has not been updated for 255 
days.  You should
run 'fink selfupdate' to get the latest package 
descriptions.

So I did as it said and now it tells me

WARNING: your info file index has not been updated for 216 
days.  You should
run 'fink selfupdate' to get the latest package 
descriptions.

So I tried it on another of my machines and that is stuck on

the 255 days version of the warning.  Both machines are PPC

with latest unstable (and regular selfupdates).  And 10.4.9,

I just ran softwareupdate too.  I don't suppose something 
changed with the timezone update that has upset fink???

fink --version
Package manager version: 0.27.0
Distribution version: 0.8.1.rsync powerpc

cheers,

We've had a few reports of this.  It's a bug in 0.27.0 which
we are  
trying to track down.  There is no problem with your
system.

We are discussing this on fink-devel, too. The warning is a
new feature 
of fink-0.27.0, but it is not supposed to appear in your
situation, nor 
for anyone else at present. Why it does, is a mystery.
