Re: The timestamp thing

OK - so we all agree that something should be done (and will). That
said, Stephane, for those of us that are interested in this fix, is it
too much to ask that you describe the planned fix and anything that we
might be able to do to help?

I think it might help everybody here to understand why just taking out
the code (as others have done) isn't really a solution, and maybe to
help us help make something happen.

Also, I have to say that conversation doesn't write code, but it does
write GOOD code. I know it must be frustrating that everybody is up in
arms about this bug, but we're here cause we want to talk to make the
thing better...or at least that was my thought.
