Hiya list! Earlier today, one of my cow-orkers inadvertently did a: # date 190000000000 and his FreeBSD/amd64 box hung and dead on the water :-( I tried to reproduce it and can confirm that it only happens on FreeBSD/amd64, on 5.4R and in 6.0RC1 (6.0R might be affected). In i386 it just gives an 'incorrect date' message or something if you type in something not w/in 190300000000->203800000000 range. Also this requires root privs so not really something to panic. Any case, I wanted to break to debugger but ran out of time (mebe tomorrow when I'm back at work), or perhaps somebody else here who can risk crash-testing their amd64 boxen can try it. Thanks and FYI. cheers mars
