I have a softlink pointing from /etc/localtime to "  Is a BSD forum a go   ".
The last time I changed /etc/localtime was to point it at the GMT timezone.
This system has since been patched from 0.1 --> 0.1.2 --> 0.1.2.1 --> 0.1.2.2
I did not notice exactly when the link got changed to this string, the
filedate on the link is a few hours older than the directories installed
by the 0.2.1 patchkit. What's this all about?
