This could very well be the case. I'll have to go over the code and see
if any of it can't handle time going back. Some parts of the code have
timeout handling that e.g. calculate time to sleep based on the time
difference. That may fail (or sleep for an unreasonably long time) when
the clock is moved back.

Thanks for reporting this.
