Well, that begs the question - will restarting the MySQL server instance 
tonight fix
the current problem?  We do have a plan in place to test and eventually deploy 
a more
recent version of MySQL (5.6?), but for now, I have to support 1000's of 
customers.
My fingers are crossed.

Unfortunately:

+---------------+------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

And:

mysql> set global timestamp = 0;
ERROR 1228 (HY000): Variable 'timestamp' is a SESSION variable and can't be 
used with SET GLOBAL

Then, as Benjamin said, you have found the bug.

'GLOBAL timestamp' should not exist

http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=49686

Your GLOBAL (ghost) instance of this variable sets the SESSION one at every 
client connection.

But you are sort of trapped because there is no syntax to manipulate that 
GLOBAL instance.


Also, sadly the manual page does not explain what happens if you set it to 
DEFAULT:
