[gpsd-dev] Broken Regressions

[Fred Wright]

It looks like GPSD didn't handle the week rollover as well as most of the 
receivers did, since there are now ten failing regression tests plus a 
whole bunch of "gpsd:ERROR: date is negative!" messages.  Fortunately, I 
think this only affects the tests and not the normal realtime operation.
A couple of spot checks look like it's hallucinating week-rollover issues 
on some tests.

To make matters worse, the BUILD_WEEK and BUILD_ROLLOVERS parameters, 
which are presumably intended to define the week-number handling, aren't 
even used anywhere.  Though any code that thinks in terms of two separate 
parameters is probably wrong, anyway. :-)  That means that one can't fix 
the behavior by tweaking those parameters, nor can one grep for them to 
find the offending code.
