well, let's see: the last time the user saw the buffers was 3 days ago.
and he explicitly (by enabling midnight) requested that they are purged.
what's weird?
ah, I see! suppose the user have not used emacs for a week.
then all buffers will be killed.
maybe it would make sense to advance the saved buffer-display-time
by the period while emacs was inactive.
wdyt?
