Yes, those packages haven't been changed for a long time.

	I was looking at Utils category when I discovered this.  patch and time both show this 
behaviour.  time is always set to version 0.0.  patch is reverted to version 0.0.

	Sounds like I did "luck" in to it...;-).

	Anyway, thought it was interesting.  Haven't taken time to look through all categories.  
Database category does not have this behaviour, at least not with postgresql.
