Checkpoint Problems

I am running Firewall 1 4.1 sp5 on Solaris 2.6 recently the time was reset
back on the platform by 6 hours which resulted in the HTTP security servers
going rogue and consuming approx 70% of cpu cycles and refused any
connections to it.

Whilst I fully appreciate that setting the clock back is a big no no what I
would like to understand is what impact that would have on the state table.
Given this behaviour what would happen if I connected the server to an NTP
server.
