Yes, it will impact people. Currently, if a timeticks value exceeds one
day, the value returned will be formatted as the number of days indicated.
However, people will be impacted by the current situation as soon as they
reboot whatever server has an uptime exceeding one day, or if (as in my
case) their Squid Current LRU expiration drops below one day and suddenly
shows up as 23 units (which happen to be hours suddenly).
So, it's a misfeature, and I agree with roofdog (sp?) it would help to
make it consistent by setting this variable.
Sigh. So much for wanting to produce clean diffs, I have been taking this
one out of mine because I wanted to discuss it in-depth before suggesting
the change.
