<div>I just happened to notice that msclock(), defined in unix.c returns an 'int32'. msclock() computes the number of milliseconds since JNOS was started, right? When that value rolls over, after ~24 days- could that cause what we are seeing??</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Sure hope it turns out to be that simple :-)</div>
