The strange date (01/02/8:) has nothing to do with the SMT clock.  It has to
do with the way that GBBS was written to use the clock (any clock).  In GBBS
the decade (80's) is hard coded, and it was not able to handle the change in
decade.  THere are several patches that will fix this (up to 1995 I think).
If you cant find one send me some mail and I will mail a copy of it to you.

Later
