Remember when some shops would post here every time the 
clocks changed back in the fall?  They were running with 
local=GMT and would have to keep their IMS systems down 
for an hour so that they wouldn't have duplicate time stamps. 
If IBM were to change the epoch, customers would have to 
keep them down for a lot longer....
