used for git bisect run
I have recently noticed issues with the use of `journalctl -a` (Arch Linux on
Raspberry Pi) and `journalctl --since today` (Arch Linux x86_64). Where the
command should stop (on end of log file), it continues printing older entries
and repeats that until the journalctl is killed.
I suspect it is related to corrupted logs or to the timestamps, the Raspberry
Pi boots with a timestamp in 1970, my laptop's RTC somehow jumped back 7 hours.

journal: when iterating through a file we might lose messages when changing
direction.

Reverting this commit on master (v204-25-g32821c7) fixes the wrap-around issue.
I prefer not to share the logs in public, if you need them please send me a
email. Attached is a quick-n-dirty bisect script which I used to isolate the
faulty commit.</pre>
