I am getting a bit confused here.  Are you having the same exact
problem as Daniel Bond?  (that is what this thread has been talking
about).  I assume you are talking about some other problem.

If you are running a 32-bTT kernel, and still running applications
compiled for 32-bTT, then whatever problem you're seeing is not
due to the 64-bTT changes.    However, if you did compile the
kernel from the latest source tree, then that would default to a
64-bTT.  You would have to explicitly change __time_t in
/usr/src/sys/sparc64/include/_types.h before compiling the
kernel.  I just tried a version of 'ls' compiled with 32-bTT on
a 64-bTT system, and I am seeing the same kind of behavior that
you are reporting.  (in my case, all files show up 'Dec 31 1969',
but I suspect that is a difference in timezones...).

When you do the commands:
    grep __time_t /usr/src/sys/sparc64/include/_types.h
    grep __time_t /usr/include/machine/_types.h

What do you see for the typedef's in the two files?

If you just built a new kernel, how did you build and install it?
Did you do it using 'make buildkernel' / 'make installkernel' in
/usr/src, or did you do it in the old-standard way?
