First of all I wish to apologize for pulling a Wilson by not first
checking with the archives before asking about the date bug since I had
missed the original post due to being unsubscribed while being out of the
country. It was in there.
What I did not include in the first summary by omission is that after I
applied the patch, set the date and rebooted the system, it again lost a
day. I considered this to be normal since it was the old kernel under
which I had set the date before I rebooted. From my understanding of
UNIX, the old kernel was still the one active before I rebooted the system
since even if one does rm /filename as root, if the file is open the file
will really be there until the file is not being accessed any more(though
it will not show up on an ls /). After the first reboot, I reset the
date, rebooted and things were just fine, just as I had expected.
