Hello all:)

An hour and a half ago (8/14, 8:34 am eastern time), I was a victim, once 
again, of the dreaded 10/27 bug.  I restarted the server when I returned to 
the screen, and now have an approx. 30 min data hole.

However, I again noticed, as I have before, that the error seems to occur 
after a "midnight system check", that does not happen at midnight!  (You 
can see this in the 'system status" window.

So, since Omega claims the fault is with BMI, and vice versa, my question 
to everyone is:  which entity generates the 'midnight system check'?  Is it 
BMI (I know, I know...Esignal), sending out a bad time (and date) stamp or 
does the (4.0) server generate the check?

I have attached a jpg of my system status window from this morning.  As you 
can see, at 8:33 am, the server ran a midnight system check, and the date 
changed to 10/27, where it remained until I manually shutdown at 9:57 and 
restarted at 9:58.

I have used TS for moe than 10 years now, and this problem seems odd even 
by Omega standards.

I'd appreciate any and all useful comments, either here or 
privately.  Since this 'system check' correlation has not been mentioned 
here before (as far as I can recall), perhaps my observation can help solve 
this ridiculous situation.

Thanks in advance.............Mitch
