Hello everyone,

From time to time we see a strange problem with the timestamp on our

vxWorks 5.5 IOCs. The timestamp jumps to the future (e.g. 2071). I have

seen it happen on EPICS 3.14.12 as well as 3.14.8. Not all but more than

one IOC seem to be affected from such an incident. Not all jump to the

same future time.

Has anyone else seen this effect?
Can a corrupted NTP message cause this?

Dirk
