Lots of other things break if time moves backwards, too, but most don't care if it moves backwards by only a second or so. UML does care. To work around it, avoid moving time backwards (ntpd and ntpdate both have switches to avoid this and always use adjtimex() instead.) -- `The copyright file is for everyone.
