| Issue | Consequence | |-------|--------------| | | UTC leap seconds can cause a 1-second error until next sync. | | No gradual clock slewing | Abrupt changes can confuse Windows Event Log, databases, and real-time applications. | | Single-shot only | Not a background service; requires Task Scheduler for continuous accuracy. | | No authentication | No symmetric keys or TLS; vulnerable to MITM time alteration. | | Deprecated protocol | RFC 868 is listed as Historic by IETF. Many ISPs block port 37. | | 32-bit time_t overflow | The protocol uses 32-bit seconds since 1900, which will overflow in 2036 (Year 2036 problem). | nistime-32bit.exe

. The 32-bit architecture, long thought to be limited, had somehow punched a hole through the present. By syncing to a "perfect" time that didn't account for the messy lag of reality, Arthur had slipped into the "Leap Second Buffer"—the hollow space where the NIST servers handle leap seconds by repeating 23:59:59. : Compatible with DAYTIME (TCP port 13) and
