This  _should_   have caused NTP to execute a panic shutdown,
instead of setting the clock back  30 million seconds.

Sounds like SNTP might have been on the client.  Doesn't do much if any
sanity checking.  Windows used to use that, was more than happy to change
the time by years if bad time received.  Not sure if that is still the case.
