[Dx4win] An unusual and strange occurrence...

Uploading LoTW tonight, I noticed something that I saw once or twice before
and accounted it to poor memory, but I checked back in previous versions of
my log and found out it is not my memory.

1. I rename the file and save it under a new name each week (using the
current date).
2. I upload to LoTW once a month.

Tonight, after uploading, I counted my new confirmations.  Lo and behold
there was a NEW confirmation for a QSO from 2003 for 7Q7BP.  The problem is,
I uploaded that QSO back in January of 2007.  So I looked in my current
version of the DX4WIN file, and it shows uploaded TODAY.  So I went back in
an earlier log file from May 2007, and it showed an upload date of January
2007 as I knew I had done.

So,what is happening here?  I am 100% positive I did NOT set the UPLOAD flag
to Y.  Somehow it did get uploaded and confirmed.  And it was not up in LoTW
or it would have shown BEFORE I uploaded.  

I can recall seeing something like this once or twice before with DX4WIN 6,
but I figured it was just me getting old.

Anyone else seen anything like this at all?  Thanks.
