When I worked at Apollo in the 1980s we used to joke that we'd all either be dead or so rich we wouldn't care when the timestamps rolled over. What actually happened is that the top bit rolled over in 1997 and exposed some bugs we hadn't anticipated.
There were enough systems still in use at the time that this was a real problem for some people. Even today I still have an old Apollo that I run a web server on, and still hear from people having trouble with their Apollo systems, mostly embedded stuff that can't be upgraded. So don't just assume that the code you write today won't be around in 20 years. _______________________________________________ cvs-all@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/cvs-all To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
