Subject: date/epicsTimeShow

Hello

I noticed that the commands 'date' as well as 'epicsTimeShow' seem to 
produce garbage, at least in our current setup which is:

* EPICS 3.14.8.2
* Motorola mv2100 (ppc603)
* VxWorks 5.4.2 (Tornado-2.0.2)

We have installed drvTS (from module apsEvent; default configuration, 
i.e. no hardware event support) and /do/ get correct timestamps in the 
records:

aragon: .../MLS-Controls/work > camonitor POP5C:rdbk
POP5C:rdbk                     2007-01-11 11:01:59.551278 0.503876 
POP5C:rdbk                     2007-01-11 11:02:00.351295 0.503829 
POP5C:rdbk                     2007-01-11 11:02:00.751304 0.503876 
....

However,

iocTESTIOC1C> date
2038/01/19 04:14:08.108797
iocTESTIOC1C> epicsTimeShow
epicsTime: THU JUL 17 2098 16:58:11.426730067

Has anyone observed this or something similar before? Is there some 
initialization we forgot?

BTW, we have set the timezone stuff like this (Berlin):

putenv "TIMEZONE=MET::-60:033102:102702"
putenv "EPICS_TS_MIN_WEST=-60"

Cheers
Ben

Mutable state is actually another form of manual memory management:
every time you over-write a value you are making a decision that the old
value is now garbage, regardless of what other part of the program might
have been using it. (Paul Johnson)
