[HECnet] RSTS/E started emitting "?EVTLOG (BLDNIC) -- %Integer error" messages

[Wilm Boerhout]

I am receiving the same messages on the console since today. I am running
the "latest" DECnet images that I picked up in July 2020.

Curious.  Can you send me a log of startup for both dates?  With the event
logger configured to send log messages to the console, so it gives a hint
about what message has a problem.  I thought I cured the date problem for a
long time...

With the recent talk about the magic 9-Nov-2021 date affecting TOPS-10,  I
notice today that

my RSTS/E V10.1 system has started putting out console messages -

 

?EVTLOG (BLDNIC) -- %Integer error 

 

I'm running this on my PiPDP-11 which uses the Oscar modified SIMH PDP11
11/70 emulation.

 

It's 10-Nov-2021 in Australia!

 

I'm running the Paul Koning's updated Y2K version of EVTLOG from

 

https://github.com/pkoning2/decstuff/tree/master/decnete

 

Any ideas?  I've tried rebooting and the message appears after start-up has
completed, and at shutdown when the date is set to 10-Nov-21 - but not when
use yesterday's date 9-Nov-21
