NMEA driver - off by 1024 weeks but says 4096

I suggest running it with gpsd for a while instead of NTPsec, and see if
gpsd's logging identifies the issue.

Or if the ntpd log contains the NMEA strings, it may be possible to
reconstruct a gpsd playback file, and play it into gpsd, and see what it
says.  ESR and GEM might could help with that.
