I believe it's based on the fact that make(1) "freaks out" if the clock skews too much (particularly, I imagine, if the clock goes backwards). "Freaks out" means starts behaving oddly. There is confirmed evidence of this happening -- it doesn't affect "PATH problems" (for lack of better phrasing; I hope folks know what I mean by this, I'm not implying one's dot-files are wrong, etc.), but it does show up as files not getting compiled or make just bailing at odd/unexpected times. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, US | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
