Willie, Yes, this has happened to me also. Note that 2^32 hundredths-of-a-second = 497.1027 days, which seems like a plausible explanation of what happened. It's also the case that the CPU time of a process rolls over after the same period of time (497+ days). Yes, this has happened to me. Really. Hah! -- whoever designed such short time limits? O they of little faith!
