Exactly how incompetent are linux coders? After all, the "problem" is extremely trivial.

  Feel free to patch it, I'm sure the world of linux coders would be happy to have someone who finds this sort of matter trivial in their midst.

    Well, I'm not a linux coder, but I'll give it a try and report back if I'm successful.

      I think it's already been patched. https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/7/17/546 https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/7/17/546 (navigation on the left of the page)

        Looks like a long, 11-part patch set. Would be interesting to hear back from 'bjork' after his try to see if it is still trivial ;)

          https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/7/1/25 https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/7/1/25 Sounds like a race condition which is pretty awkward to avoid.

  DateTime code bugs happen all the time, there are so much things to consider and it's hard to test, because the problem conditions might not occur for years to come. Remember this? http://news.cnet.com/new-years-hangover-for-zune-users/ http://news.cnet.com/new-years-hangover-for-zune-users/ (also I too am guilty of producing a similar bug in a software a few years ago)
