About the F-22 software bug

[Pascal Obry <pascal@obry.net>]

   [Second attempt to post this message. Sorry if you reveived
    this multiple time, it seems this message never reached
    comp.lang.ada].


Just curious, does someone have information to share about this problem:

<<
While attempting its first overseas deployment to the Kadena Air Base in
Okinawa, Japan, on 11 February 2007, a group of six F-22 Raptors flying
from Hickam AFB, Hawaii, experienced multiple computer crashes
coincident with their crossing of the 180th meridian of longitude (the
International Date Line). The computer failures included at least
navigation (completely lost) and communication. The fighters were able
to return to Hawaii by following their tankers, something that might
have been problematic had the weather not been good. The error was fixed
within 48 hours, allowing a delayed deployment.[24]
>> >>
I know that the F-22 is 90% of Ada. Is there some public information
about this bug? Is that a design bug?

Thanks,
Pascal.
