We are using Gosling Emacs-#264 running on a VAX 780 with 4.2BSD.  Most of
us who use Emacs also use the 'time.ml' package to display the system time
and load at the bottom of the screen.

In doing this we have noted a very strange feature which is not bothersome,
but I would like to know why it happens.  What happends is that just after the
machine crashes or is shut down and is then brought back up, it will not
display the time and load, but rather it will just say:

		(time and load)

For about 12-24 hours it is this way and eventually it just returns to
something like this:

		(12:30pm  3.40[4])

I realize that this may be an esoteric question, but I was wondering what's
going on here.  Anybody have any ideas?
