[comp.sys.sun] SunoS 4.0.1 cron and DST

fuat@cunixc.cc.columbia.edu (Fuat C. Baran) (04/25/89)

On all our systems running SunOS 4.0.1 (Sun 4/280's, Sun 4/110's) cron
stopped working at the cutover to daylight savings time on Apr 1 at
1:59am.  (We have a cron entry that timestamps every minute and the last
timestamp is from 1:59am) I killed the cron process, rm'ed
/var/spool/cron/FIFO and started new crons everywhere.  Did anyone else
notice this, and is this a known problem?  I haven't looked at the sources
yet, but it's almost as if it was waiting for 2am to come, but it never
did since it jumped to 3am. :-)
