If I read the manpage for ntpd correctly, whenever an offset exceeds the sanity limit of 1000 seconds, it should quit and not change the time. So what went wrong here?
I did note that 619315200 seconds is exactly 7168 days (=7*1024), so it looks like a few bits got flipped around. (Though a random memory problem does not sound plausible, because two hours later the exact reverse happened)
