Version: 3.16-4
Severity: important

..upstream bug.


Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where
appropriate ***

* What led up to the situation?

..according to http://catb.org/gpsd/NMEA.html#_dates_and_times :
GPS date and time are subject to a rollover problem in the 10-bit
week number counter, which will re-zero every 1024 weeks (roughly
every 19.6 years). The last rollover (and the first since GPS went
live in 1980) was in Aug-1999; the next will fall in Apr-2019.


..checks out rather well:
arnt@sda3:~$ date --date='1024 weeks ago'
Sun Aug 22 18:23:04 CEST 1999
arnt@sda3:~$ date --date='2048 weeks ago'
Sun Jan 6 17:23:36 CET 1980
arnt@sda3:~$ date --date='TZ=UTC 2048 weeks ago'
date: invalid date ‘TZ=UTC 2048 weeks ago’
arnt@sda3:~$ date --date='TZ="UTC" 2048 weeks ago'
Sun Jan 6 19:25:50 CET 1980

..fix suggestions: hard code third 10bit era and/or move to
the new 13bit "CNAV" data format pointed to above.

..this patch hard codes third 10bit era as suggested in
