SiRF2 LOL

So after a decade and a half I decided to power up an old SiRFstar2
(2.3.2-GSW2-2.05.024-C1Prod1.3) that I had sitting in a storage box
because my Ublox7 just wasn't playing nice[1].

1. It didn't catch fire
2. it took a good 7.5 minutes to get 3D+WAAS lock
3. with 12 channels it's definitely not as enthusiastic about
searching for PRNs as modern receivers
4. It's reporting the current time as "2041-07-25T06:12:55.700Z (18)"
in cpgs. gpsmon says "Time: 2021-12-09T06:12:53.700Z Leap: 18".

[1] Now I need to figure out which of a raspberry pi 4b+, a zwo
asi482, and a skywatcher az-gti mount is emitting so much RFI that
it's completely jamming the receiver. Time to go read the ubx protocol
reference again...

GDB has a 'break' feature; why doesn't it have 'fix' too?
