Confused server clocks can screw up timing
[Moved from bugzilla] Reporter: nickm@alum.mit.edu (Nick Mathewson) Description: Opened: 2003-08-29 20:44
Some users have reported that the mixminion server has a nasty failure mode when a server's clock moves backwards by a large interval. When the server asks "when did we last (do something)", the answer "tomorrow" can cause crashes or weird behavior.
I'm deferring this for a while, because (a) I want to get 0.0.5 put to bed, and (b) the workaround is trivial: keep your clock set right.
