Re: With the upcoming time change....

One of the problems with adjusting the system time regularly
(e.g. with real-time input from a "gadget") is that the internal
system time is also used as the basis for generating *unique*
timestamps (some fiddling with the lower bits). This function
would probably not work anymore if you constantly adjust
the system time up or down by small amounts.
