Running 5.3-RELEASE.

After many years of using FreeBSD, and as many reboots or more, I had
occasion to reboot today, and a few hours later discovered to my
horror that the system time had suddenly been moved ahead to the year
2020!

I did the best I could with the resulting mess, but I am curious if
anyone else has seen this, or what would cause it.  This is the same
hardware I have been running for a couple of years now, and I haven't
changed anything in the bios or system.

Thanks,
Scott

Just an idea, but maybe the BIOS battery ran out of power and needs to
be replaced.

Interesting though. Usually clocks get set back to 1972, or somewhere around that era.
