I just rebooted Simon Burge's NetBSD/pmax box, and it had the date
at Jan 2 1994. Also, running "rdate othermachine" prints the new date
but then wedged the machine for about 30 seconds (i.e, *nothing*
happened - I couldn't telnet to the machine, the xterm running on it
wouldn't respond, etc.) It did come back eventually though.
