A previously thought-to-be-resolved issue has resurfaced in an old BSD build. A Danish developer has identified a Y2K bug in the code, which was intended to address the millennium bug that was supposed to cause widespread disruptions when the year 2000 began. The bug was found in a specific build of BSD, an operating system that was widely used in the past. The issue is not currently a threat to most users, as it only affects systems that are still running a PDP-11/70 and rely on short-wave timekeeping broadcasts. The discovery highlights the potential for long-dormant issues to resurface in outdated code, even years after they were thought to be resolved.
