It's now tempting to submit a bug report about a core dump when I set my date to 1912. In other words, that fixes the symptom, but not the problem, so the PR should probably be updated with a workaround, but not marked closed. It doesn't mean you should feel obligated to fix it, just that it's not resolved. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
