Er, the system clock is not capable of representing the year 1933 (in any
valid fashion).
This sounds like either memory corruption or an in-kernel sniper bug of
some sort. You don't help the diagnosis any by saying "losing time" and
then complaining about a "jump". The two are very different things, and
you need to be much more specific about what is actually happening.
