I would not call it a bug. It was initially defined that way. However,
RSX officially decided to start treating it as an unsigned 16-bit value
with the last releases, and documented this.
And it's a change that do make sense.
But if others have not applied the same update, then it makes sense that
they would zero the value if it have the high bit set.

The statement in the DECnet spec that julian half-day
is 15 bits is an
obvious bug with an obvious fix; clearly RSX and others have made that
fix. VMS needs to do likewise.

Depends on the implementation. Nov 9, 2021 on VMS, Ultrix and
probably some others. RSX is good until 2065.

Hi,
It has been mentioned elsewhere and maybe a while back too but I’m
not quite sure when DECnet (VAX/VMS 7.3) started serving up jewels like:
%%%%%%%%%%% OPCOM 13-NOV-2024 15:15:13.82 %%%%%%%%%%%
Message from user DECNET on TUPILE
DECnet event 4.10, circuit up
From node 29.109 (TUPILE), 1-JAN-1977 00:00:53.64
Circuit UNA-0
