Comment:

 [attachment:35788.diff] fixes the header for the comments feed by
 returning the current date in this case. However, posts are likely also
 affected as soon as the posts list table is empty (rarely the case
 though).

 Also, there's the `lastBuildDate` field in the RSS feeds. Ideally, this
 would be best solved in the `get_lastcommentmodified()` and
 `get_lastpostmodified()` functions directly.
