I've got interesting results (in the bad sense of the phrase): I do get the message "Invalid time in real time clock. Check and reset the time immediately" (the i386 message) BUT my time gets reset to 0 (midnight 1970.) I see your patch and it shouldn't do that. Could it be a compiler bug, so the effects change after trivial code has been changed?Received on Wed Jul 11 2007 - 20:14:56 UTC
