Hey Walt
 I remember you :-)
 That bug was between 8.0.x to 8.1.6 due to timer overflow. Note 118228.1

  Operating systems with clock ticks set to milliseconds will see this   problem after 24.8 days but typically systems have clock ticks set   to centiseconds which means the problem would not be seen for 248 days.
