I observe that relatively small changes to the system time that are
negative (setting the date back a few days or even hours) freezes
Jivelite every time. But I also notice that all the running timers in
the Jive UI are based on reading the current value of jive_jiffies(),
and setting an expiry time based on that value. But jive_jiffies are
coming from
Code:
--------------------
#define jive_jiffies() SDL_GetTicks()
--------------------
. Looking up SDL_GetTicks(), I find that this function "Returns the
number of milliseconds since SDL library initialization. This value
wraps around if the program runs for more than 49.7 days." So setting
the time forward by too much may have the same effect as setting it back
by some amount which stops a bunch of timers expiring, I think.
