[Cdash] test summary page shows previous days builds

[Julien Jomier]

Felix,

Thanks for the report. Yes you do need a login on Mantis to report an 
issue (so developers can contact you if necessary).

This looks like a bug to me, I'm going to look at it as soon as I can.
I have logged a bug in Mantis.
