VxWorks time()

["Kevin M. Peterson" <kmpeters@anl.gov>]

After upgrading an ioc from:

Processor: MVME2700
BSP: mv2700-asd8_nodns
EPICS version: R3.13.9
synApps version: 4-6

to:

Processor: MVME5100
BSP: mv5100-asd8_nodns
EPICS version: R3.14.8.2
synApps version: 5_2_test

a sequence program that writes the current date and time
into a file no longer logs the correct time.

The time on the ioc is correct:

lga> date
2007/07/31 11:14:56.572507
value = 27 = 0x1b
lga>

but the method used by the sequence program which worked
before the upgrade, no longer behaves properly:

lga> systime = time(0)
systime = 0x1e1a8d10: value = 423436 = 0x6760c
lga> printf("%s",ctime(&systime))
MON JAN 05 15:37:16 1970
value = 25 = 0x19
lga>

Originally I thought that something might have changed in the
sequencer but since I see the same incorrect behavior on the
VxWorks console I'm forced to look elsewhere for the problem.

The VxWorks documentation says time() should return the current
time if passed NULL (which the sequence program does).  Is time()
broken in mv5100-asd_nodns?  If not, where else can I look for a
potential misconfiguration?

Thanks ahead of time,

Kevin
