That's exactly the issue.   I called Veritas tech support to confirm which 
jumbo patch is the minimal required (from my testing J0850645 seems to be 
it, though Veritas recommends NB_34_1 [but its not required, see Veritas 
TechFile ID#420097]) and the tech I talked to volunteered the fact that 
the bug was caused by the app only using 9 characters when dealing with 
the time/date values.  Didn't these programmers learn anything from 
Y2K????

Oh, one related note, since the time value is "Number of seconds since 
January 1, 1970 GMT", those in the Americas and Caribbean and points 
further west had the bug hit sometime Saturday night.

All,

I'm really wondering if this has anything to do with the fact that UNIX 
will
pass it's 1000000000 seconds boundary on Sunday:

[u3433] / # date +%s
999974933

[u3433] / # date -s 999999999
Sun Sep  9 03:46:39 MEST 2001

In case anyone is using the NBU timestamps in a 9 digits field: you are
warned!
