Looks like it. Some guy found the source code for the clock driver (apparently it's on the Freescale web site), and there is indeed an infinite loop of the "while (days > 365)" variety. http://tinyurl.com/7qpmpn No matter, Tom will continue blaming MS and comparing MP3 players that fell asleep for a few hours to crashing airplanes, failing cardiac resuscitators, and burning buildings; clearly, they all deserve the same level of testing. It's MS's fault for not testing to exhaustion every line of code from every third party component (as Apple, of course, does). ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
