Something is very wrong here.

I'll try to fix the failures in rtctest and the problems in rtc-range
before version 2 of the patchset.

(The 2255 date was my addition, because I suspect this to be the upper
limit of the RTC's range.)

Ok, I'll add one.

Will do.

Ok, will do.


Thanks for the review and the testing tips.
