Timestamp is not in order about nanolog

[syang0]

Hi kaiduanx,

I think the issue is related to #28 where log messages at the beginning of the file can sometimes have a negative nanosecond timestamp (notice the little dash character - after the decimal point). The timestamps are still in order; it's just that nanosecond count is printed out as a negative value. I suspect the fix may be just to add an if-condition in the decompressor to check for this case. However, I'm not able to reproduce the problem on my setup.

Could you send me your log file, so I can verify the fix?

Best Regards,
Stephen Yang
