[bars] GPSD rollover bug

[William Smith]

If anyone, like me, has built a GPS NTP server using GPSD, you might want to check your version:

Long story short:  GPS has a 1024-week rollover.  GPSD has a bug where it's going to correct for the problem this weekend instead of Nov 2038.

So your GPS-based clock may think it's 2002.

Enjoy!
