Our company uses HBase, Elastic Search, GitBlit, SmartFox Server, Jetty which have been by this bug, MySQL is said to be affected too http://blog.mozilla.org/it/2012/06/30/mysql-and-the-leap-sec...

Thank you for that link! I had been scratching my head about that server even though it wasn't mine to take care of (the other service I'm involved with here, that I helped plan, uses Postgres, which does not seem to have problems).

I would love to see what's really causing this bug. We read so many times over the weekend to either reboot or just run that date command - but nobody is telling us what's causing the problem.

Also, seeing that other threaded applications had similar problems, I doubt this is a java issue - more likely a pthread, glibc or even kernel issue
