I'm not sure how you came up with the duration. The bug is most
certainly much younger than that, probably introduced along with the new
atomic intrinsics in a late GCC 4.8.x release. Arguably, it is a real
bug only for _Atomic long long members.
Probably referring to the age of the 389-ds code base which dates all the way back to Netscape Directory Server
Thanks,
