Timestamps in the BOINC Manager Event Log display in one of two different formats, randomly switch between the two, and I've recently seen a group of messages alternate repeatedly between the two forms as I watch, touching nothing and while seemingly nothing else was going on. I've no idea if this is a BOINC issue or an Ubuntu issue, but no OS updates seem to have made any difference. So, I'm wondering if any of the good folks on this forum can shed any light on this for me.

The two forms I see are

Mon 22 Jul 2019 22:22:54 BST

and

Mon Jul 22 22:22:54 2019

The version with BST in it seems to be the most common, but I can scroll through the messages and find a small group with the other format. If I then scroll them off the screen and back on, they usually come back on in the BST format. Duh?

I would guess that the BST format is the local language format, and the other is the "native" format. I can only assume that something is not always getting enough cycles to "translate" the format properly. But why? And, if it is a BOINC bug, can anything be done about it? And, if it's an Ubuntu problem, what (if anything) can I do about it?

Help and comments, please!
