I have no point, I just want to say: "Sun Patch 102982-02, bug #4032974 system hangs when lbolt wraps around." may be familiar to some people on this list. How history repeats itself. In other news, the count of the number of times in this thread folks have said "Universal Time Coordinated" instead of "Coordinated Universal Time" is higher than I would expect. (Coordinated Universal Time is the proper expansion of UTC, for international compromise reasons). I feel like this is similar to the times people say "GMT" when they mean "UTC," and possibly for similar reasons.
