There was a classic moment reported in early Windows 95, where a routine
is supposed to handle time changes automatically. At 2am, the clock was
reset to 1am. And an hour later the same thing happened. And so on until
the machine was restarted.

Does Linux or some experimental patch attempt a siniliar time change?
