No. In at least the case of red_bat nothing has changed for months.

I remember seeing some bugs like that when the value of Unix time_t
reached 1 billion and became 9 instead of 8 digits.
Neither of these sound very plausible, but it seems the next step for
investigation is to look closely at what's happening in gendef.pl.
Right. I agree that your diff makes gendef.pl the prime suspect.

Re-reading the thread ... could that last point be significant? Are
all four of these boxen set to auto-accept updates from Redmond?
No. red_bat does not auto-accept anything.
