I am having a weird issue on my TS-7000 (arm9) board. It's running Debian
sarge. When I set the date with ntpdate or ntpd, it is set to Sep. 11
1937.....

This is a real problem.....

I can't figure out why it's doing this. An identically configured x86
system doesn't have this problem....

Any suggestions are welcome; I am stumped......

Is this a known issue? I've filed a support request with the
manufacturer, but I know that the depth of knowledge out here can be
pretty awesome, so I'm hoping that someone has some idea where I should
look.....
