can you explain this closer to the tech please? i know i got the same explanation from one of our support people until I challenged him... we then went into the code and analysed what would happen on one of our live systems and discovered that the only two problems we would ever have was the *appearance* of wrong timestamps to someone eye-balling the logs, and a window of bad performance stats in cases where people were doing cross-system performance profiling. But that otherwise, no-one would notice. For this reason, I am hesitant to believe the argument: "millisecond time stamps are used and *therefore* leap seconds cause havoc." -paul _______________________________________________ LEAPSECS mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/leapsecs
