There's nothing wrong with the mailing list. Pavel, please set your clock
correctly :-)

No, Pavel's clock is fine AFAIK. The message was sent in
January. However, it was just received AGAIN today. I don't
have a clue how it could have happened, but my guess was perhaps
vger was restored from a backup or something and the mail queue
was ancient.
Also, my duplicate filter is still nailing lots of postings from
lkml, so some looping must still be happening as I'm only sub'd
under this address.

Unfortunately, my clock is b0rken. This damn little machine just does
not have ability to retain time across reboot. [For booting, I need
winCE. WinCE will crash upon boot if something unexpected (like linux)
is in memory. Therefore I need to remove main battery for reboot :-(.]
It even does not have ability to retain time correctly during powersave
mode, but that could be solved.
Before someone says "NTP", this machine is usually not connected anywhere --
it comunicates via ATA flash. Maybe I could scan flash for newest timestamp
and use that for date...
Oh, and it might be possible that mail was accidentaly sent twice. Sorry for
confusion.

On a similar system I use a little trick so the time is at least always
increasing:
- touch the file /etc/timestamp just before the system shuts down
- on bootup I set the time with:
CURRENTTIME=date -r /etc/timestamp
date -s "$CURRENTTIME"
