ntp-dev has a fix for this problem - while the original solution was
"make sure the clock is correct to within ~65 years' time" the new code
uses a "date of compile" value, and needs the system time to be either
10 years' before that date or up to 128 years' after that date.

See http://bugs.ntp.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1995 for more information
(thanks, Juergen!).
