- david422 5y agoIIRC - it's an integer overflow problem. And power cycles generally come much sooner than than the 51 days. From a software engineering perspective - seems like something that should be fixed. But apparently someone else decided not to. Maybe complexity? Cost?
- trinovantes 5y agoDefinitely cost Why go through the entire recertification process when the alternative solution is simply reboot every couple of weeks?
