Hello, A while ago, by accident, I've changed the system date back to the '98 using date(1). To my astonishment, screen(1) barfed about EINVAL in select() and died. Programs, including opera (native FreeBSD-6 binary) kept spinning the CPU until I killed them. I have no means for debugging it. Is this somehow expected? If not (i.e. it's a bug), is it known?home | help
