I've confirmed there are no Mystic systems in either of those paths. So it
seems some other software out there is doing the same thing (dropping seconds
off the timestamp), according to your dupe.

As you said, though.. It wouldn't have had to be changed at all in the first
place (although it still shouldn't have been) had the original system had a
proper timestamp.

Regards,
Nick
