See my other posting and it happened after exactly 199 days in the year. It is due to the (in my opinion) incorrect patch for clock.c (the first patch on this file).

Just uninstall this patch will do. >-- >adam@veda.is -Guido -- Guido van Rooij | Internet: guido@gvr.win.tue.nl Bisschopsmolen 16 | Phone: ++31.40.461433 5612 DS Eindhoven | ((12+144+20)+3*sqrt(4))/7 The Netherlands | +(5*11)=9^2+0
