Re: Time

[Bruce Vining <bvining@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Time will "loop" at roughly May 10, 2071, 11:56:53. The actual time will be
some fraction of a second into the 53rd second (with the fraction varying
by release level of the system). There is an earlier time that the system
will not IPL after (also release dependent), but if the system is up and
running you have until 2071 (with current MI implementation).
