The battery of my PowerBook G4 got too low and the machine was put into sleep. I closed the lid, changed the battery, but when I reopened the lid, I noticed that the PowerBook was in fact off. And when I switched it on (around 21:00), the clock was set back to 1904-01-01. Here's a /var/log/syslog excerpt:

I've never had one like that before. As the kernel is quite new, I suspect that it is the cause. -- Vincent Lef�vre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.org/> - 100% validated (X)HTML - Acorn Risc PC, Yellow Pig 17, Championnat International des Jeux Math�matiques et Logiques, TETRHEX, etc. Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / SPACES project at LORIA
