Hello !

We are running several 164lx with 1.4.1 and mysql for a
web/database application.

Here is the problem with mysql from the ports:


$ date
Sun Dec 19 11:43:39 PST 1999

$ mysql mysql
mysql> select now();
+---------------------+
| now()               |
+---------------------+
| 2136-01-25 18:04:53 |
+---------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)


the bug is in mit-pthreads, which "sometimes" returns an illegal
value for
time(). 

Greetings, Tom
