In freebsd-hubs you write:
# I ran mirror -n -d -d -d -d -pall (where all is /pub/FreeBSD)
# and tail of my mirror.out looks this:
Sorry, I don't run mirror here, so I can't tell you what the problem is, but
looking at the code you include, I can tell you *where* the problem is! :-)
# dest FreeBSD-CVS/src/gnu/lib/libmalloc/Attic/valloc.c,v (): 70/01/01-01:00:00 0 0
^^^ Giveaway!
# One can see easily that the dest timestamp is 1-Jan-1970 (the unix big bang)
The reason for this is below:
# if( $debug > 2 ){
# &msg( " dest $dest_path ($desti): " .
# &t2str( $dest_time[ $desti ] ) );
t2str is being called with the $desti element of the list $dest_time. As
can be seen from the output, $desti == "" == 0, so t2str is being called
with the zero'th element of $dest_time. I'd surmise that this is also zero,
because:
# sub t2str
# {
# local( @t );
# if( $use_timelocal ){
# @t = localtime( $_[0] );
# }
# else {
# @t = gmtime( $_[0] );
# }
one of localtime/gmtime is being called with the first argument of t2str.
If this element is zero, then the unix big-bang datetime is returned:
% perl -e 'print scalar localtime 0, "\n"'
Thu Jan 1 01:00:00 1970
# Any perl guru out there who could give me a hint what tiny test I could
# run to locate the problem?
All you need to do now is find out why $desti is null, and you'll have your
answer! :-)

(If you get really stuck, I could fetch and install mirror, and have a look
at it ...)
