When the --since="2013-01-01 03:00:00" or --since=today option is used, the output doesn't end at the last logs, but it circles back to the beginning of the journal. Steps to reproduce: $ journalctl --since=today [PAGEDOWN] [PAGEDOWN] [PAGEDOWN] [PAGEDOWN]

Can you check if http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/commit/?id=87011c25d9 fixes things for you? Also, http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/commit/?id=cbd671772 should fix one the ways that looped journals are produced, but it won't immediately help if you have such journals currently.
The error does not appears anymore on my system (systemd version 204).
