Many people may have experienced the same problem, rebooting a dUnix
Alpha server during the Month of March in a leap year causes the system
to lose 1 day.
DEC has available patches for this problem available via anonymous
ftp server at address
ftp.service.digital.com
cd public/osf/clockpatches
There are patches for versions 2.0 to 3.2d in compresses tar file
format.
This problem will only show up if you reboot the server during the month
of March during a leap year.
All of the patch tar files come with README instructions on applying the
patch.
The other solution is don't reboot the server during the month of March
if it is a leap year...
Patient : "Doc it hurts when I do this...
Doctor : "Then don't do that"
Try to have a good rest of the year...
