Public bug reported:
I have an old Mac laptop that I run PPC Edgy on. Every once and a while
my time will get out of whack and the date will be set to something like
January 1 1904. When this occurs random things start happening.
eg:
host whatever.com segfaults
Gnome Applets no longer load and randomly disappear
Networking dies
When I set the clock back to a normal time everything starts working
100% again. Unforunately this has to be done via the command line as my
desktop does not work correctly. Now this isn't a huge problem but I
can see how it would be extremely confusing for a computer newbie. I
would think the Linux kernel would somehow set the date to at least
something sane should something like this occur.
