Hmm. Just did a little test.
It actually appers to happen on shutdown.
Just did a shutdown, On booting into RiscOS I dtopped it at the
supervisor prompt, and low and behold, year was 2000 (It wasn't just
before I shut RiscBSD down)
I tried to repeat it, but after 3 shutdown/reboots it hasn't repeated
itself. Maybe it needs prolonged use before being shut down.
I shall investigate further.
Btw. I'm running a kernel compiled myself from sources I supped on
Monday, and the latest csc.o
I have disabled
kshell,portmaster,gateway,hydra,mpsupport,asc,cosc,ptsc,oak,st,cd,uk,ss,
ea,eb,ie and pseudo devices sl and ppp
from the SA110 config file
and added csc.
Ale.
