Hi,
The timer showing how long I've been connected is stuck in a weird loop. It starts at -59 secs, and counts up to 00 secs, then resets back to -59secs. Not sure how long its been doing it, but its been going for at least 30 minutes since I first noticed. Disconnecting/reconnecting does not fix it, the timer just starts back up where it stopped.
Closing and reopening the program fixes it. This is the only time I've ever seen it.
Im using MUSHclient 3.50, on Windows XP pro, SP2.

That is very strange, I have never seen that. It is almost like the "get time of day" function is not working.

I think I know what caused it. I was messing around with the date in windows time... I just noticed when I put the date forward one day, my connected time went up by a day.

Ah yes, you changed the system time, and MUSHclient reported negative time connected, eh? Not too surprised.
