Leaping a Sun 3

The following is a near-transcript of my call to Sun to ask about certain
problems that we have been experiencing.

	Sun:	Hello, Customer Service.

	Me:	Yes, I've got a problem with my Sun workstations.
		The clocks keep speeding up and slowing down. All of them.

	Sun:	Ah yes, Do you have an email path? If so, I'll mail you
		the patch.

	Me:	Ah, it's a weird problem; it happened all at once.

	Sun:	Yes, at 7:00pm, Dec 31, 1987.

	Me:	What?

	Sun:	It's a leap year problem.

	Me:	What?

	Sun:	We've never had a Sun 3 in a leap year before.

Ha, ha, ha. Take me back to [ the alphabetic list ] [ the date-ordered list ].
