It would be sooooooooo.... nice if they did. Every time this happens to me, it kills postgres, because the negative dates corrupt the pg_control file. Luckily I have a spare, uncorrupted one lying around for just such an occasion, but man, the first time it happened I was freaking out. Also sendmail refuses to work. Since I'm only stupid enough to do this about once every three months, I've forgotten that it will happen, and I get really irritated because sendmail is broken.... and then I remember. jas.
