I am trying to retrieve direct messages using the since_id to fetch
only the new ones.  The documentations says "Returns only direct
messages with an ID greater than (that is, more recent than) the
specified ID." However, the API is giving me messages with an ID lower
than the since_id that I pass.  Is this a known issue?

Here is what I ask for:
http://twitter.com/direct_messages.xml?since_id=80627918

Here is what I get back (I snipped out the irrelevant stuff)

<direct-messages type="array">
<direct_message>
  <id>80627918</id>
  ...
</direct_message>
<direct_message>
  <id>80615056</id>
  ...
</direct_message>

You can see that the second message is lower than my since_id
parameter.  Am I doing something wrong?
