hello all,

any theories on why the linux-emulator + libraries should
report a bad date to linux applications?

in xgrok i (always) get 23.59 Dec. 31, 1969 (i.e. -1 sec from Jan. 1, 1970)
and
in plan i (always) get Jan. 1, 1970 for the dates..

i'm using the linux-emulator that comes with 2.1.0 and version 1.0
of the linux libraries in packages/emulators

i'd guess this must have to do with the linux libc perhaps..

cheers
mark
