I just noticed -- as the build machine was building the kernel for
today's -CURRENT (while running -CURRENT from yesterday) that the
datestamp on the kernel build messages looked odd:

>>> Kernel build for FREEBEAST started on Sat Feb 19 07:02:37 PST 2011
>>> Kernel build for FREEBEAST completed on Sat Feb 19 07:22:18 PST 2011

Now, the same machine was running (today's) -STABLE when I did the
"cvs update" in /usr/src:

freebeast(5.0-C)[6] grep '^Script' current
Script started on Thu Aug  8 05:35:01 2002
Script done on Thu Aug  8 05:48:52 2002
Script started on Sat Feb 19 05:52:10 2011
freebeast(5.0-C)[7] 

Now, looking at yesterday's build, I don't see that sort of anomalous
behavior:

freebeast(5.0-C)[7] grep '^Script' current.0
Script started on Wed Aug  7 05:30:58 2002
Script done on Wed Aug  7 05:41:28 2002
Script started on Wed Aug  7 05:44:36 2002
Script done on Wed Aug  7 07:21:27 2002
freebeast(5.0-C)[8] 



And note this:
d144(4.6-S)[1] date && ssh freebeast date && date
Thu Aug  8 07:22:52 PDT 2002
Sat Feb 19 07:22:24 PST 2011
Thu Aug  8 07:22:53 PDT 2002
d144(4.6-S)[2] 

In the mean time, I had cobbled up a dumb little program to spit out
info from a timestamp (before "date" had format parameters that I knew
of -- originally written on an IBM mainframe running MVS, about 1990 or
so); anyway, it appears that the actual timestamp values are pretty far
gone:

d144(4.6-S)[2] tstamp && ssh freebeast tstamp && tstamp
1028816971 488268000 2002 220 08 08 4 07 29 31 488268000 August Thursday 0 1 31 PDT
1298129342 891857000 2011 050 02 19 6 07 29 02 891857000 February Saturday 0 0 28 PST
1028816973 096037000 2002 220 08 08 4 07 29 33 096037000 August Thursday 0 1 31 PDT
d144(4.6-S)[3] 

(The leftmost output token is the raw "seconds since the epoch".)

"freebeast" is the SMP build machine; d144 is one of the (uninspired)
names assigned to DHCP clients on the wired net, and corresponds to the
xe0 NIC that's in my laptop at the moment.  (The latter machine is
building today's -STABLE.)

I'll see if I can figure something out after I boot up today's
-CURRENT....

Cheers,
david
