Looks as if my previous mail got lost... so here it is again...

I am not running True64 or DU on this system... and it only happens
for the past couple of month. The only changes which have occured are
the upgrade to NetBSD-1.4, which I don't believe is to blame and
the SRM console... which I think may be the cause of the problem.

I am sure that there is a way distinguishing between the different
versions of the SRM console and hence adapt to the date format.

Does anyone know the date format for True64? If so, can you provide me
with this info? Will try to get a handle on this...

cheerio Berndt
