A sparc64 machine I'm using was consistently failing to set the date
properly when updated across the recent RELENG_5 changes that required
date to be reset.  ntpdate claimed to be setting the date correctly,
but date(1) still returned a bogus value.

Setting the date manually and then rerunning ntpdate gave another
bogus offset message, but in fact set it correctly.
