From
Scott Barthelmy at NASA/GSFC <Scott@lheamail.gsfc.nasa.gov>
S. Barthelmy (GSFC), D. Burrows (PSU), M. Chester (PSU),
N. Gehrels (GSFC), S. Immler (GSFC), A. Retter (PSU), T. Sakamoto (GSFC)
on behalf of the Swift team:

We correct the trigger time for GRB 060102 (trigger=175603)
in GCN Circular #4423.  A data corruption problem caused 
the conversion from spacecraft time to Universal Time to be off 
by 16 million seconds.  The correct trigger time for GRB 060102 
is 21:17:28 UT (+/- ~2 sec for the unknown correction factor).

[GCN OPS NOTE(03feb06): per author's request, "E.Retter" was changed to "A.Retter".]
