Do your programs run at midnight? Do they use date and time seperately? If so and between those two instructions the system-date is changing, the date and time can be inconsistent with each other for that moment in your program! Some explanation is here:

It is just like Y2k, no trouble at all until the year 2000 was there....

No trouble at all with the programs, until you run your program at midnight.... ghost hour! Twisted Evil

Many companies want to be online 24 hours, 7 days a week.... but they are not so much aware of the potential trouble at midnight......

I guess that many programs that are repaired because of Y2k, can have this kind of trouble.....
