   Hey Nick!   
      
    > And you don't see any of it? That's creepy.   
      
   For the mostpart I see it but was hoping we could skip over the gory details.    
   Not creepy but definetly gross.  I already think I've said far too much as it   
   is.

   Agreed, even if there isn't anything I can do about fixing it.   
      
   Speaking of fixing, playing around with the bash loadable "strftime" has   
   produced some interesting prospects.   
      
    $ enable -f /usr/lib/bash/strftime strftime   
    $ printf "%d\n" 0x67f5c2ed   
   1744159469   
    $ TZ=UTC strftime "ftn_datetime:  %d %b %y  %T" 1744159469   
   ftn_datetime:  09 Apr 25  00:44:29   
      
   It matches with the MSG's datetime stamp.  Also I checked and made sure that   
   unixtime (1744159469 seconds) isn't limited to 32-bit time_t.  Given the   
   output it looks like they are using a 64-bit float which has a shelf life of   
   over 2 billion years from the unix epoch shown below in the obsoleted two   
   digit year format;   
      
    $ TZ=UTC strftime "ftn_datetime:  %d %b %y  %T" 0   
   ftn_datetime:  01 Jan 70  00:00:00   
      
   Note that normally the year 10000 would lengthen the string by an extra   
   character, in the case of ftn_datetime it will remain constrained to 19   
   characters, not counting the \0 (null) that terminates that string.   
      
    $ TZ=UTC strftime "ftn_datetime:  %d %b %y  %T" 253402329600   
   ftn_datetime:  01 Jan 00  08:00:00   
      
   Having said that I still think the two digit year needs to be turfed.   
      
   Life is good,   
   Maurice
