Here's a tiny patch to INN-1.5.1 to make the arrival date for articles
that were canceled (typically by 'ctlinnd cancel') be the same as the
current time.  This is, I think, superior to the current behavior,
which (for me, anyway) seems to put some unpredictable value in there.

I can't imagine this breaking anything (famous last words)...
