I'm blaming this on QEmu. We just ask the BIOS for the current date/time. When
running on QEmu, sometimes plain wrong numbers are returned (it seems QEmu
sometimes returns Seconds where it should return Month). Since the month number
was used to index an array of month names, we were reading outside the array,
giving bogus text. I've included (r17767) a check to see if the date/time values
are within range.
As for the clock running way too fast, that has to be a QEmu problem too. I've
checked the code which reads the date/time (by issuing BIOS interrupt 0x1a) and
it is very simple, I don't believe there is a bug in freeldr there.
Can't reproduce the lockup.
