I saw this on systems where the clock battery failed. You might
expect the time to be Dec 31, 1969 but it is not. Either
00000000... or FFFFFFFF... winds up meaning the year 2027. It would
be good for the installer to check for the year 2027 and ask if the
clock is off but there is no such warning. I imagine this can foul up
"make" at times.
