  • GPS Daemon Rollover Bug

    From Mike H@21:1/5 to All on Mon Oct 25 06:08:16 2021
    GPSD had this bug as recently as version 3.22 released in January 2021!

    Applications using the buggy software flipped back to March 2002 yesterday (October 24, 2021).

    Who could have predicted this type of problem? ;-)

    My guess is 'someone with enought experience that a penny-pincher refused
    to offer a contract.'

    Do I win the first prize of a week in Philadelphia?
