Another option might be that your system's time was "reset".
This shouldn't happen, but it can happen if your NTP was down, the
machine got out-of-sync over time and you restart the NTP server at
which point it may(!) decide to jump the clock if the difference is
large enough (i.e. too large to catch up gradually).
Can't remember how large is "large enough".
Anyway, just throwing this out there in case it rings a bell,
