[Click] Timers do not fire with date before 1970

[Eddie Kohler]

Roberto,

That is a strange use case.

Userlevel or kernel?
Can you tell us what clock_gettime() and/or gettimeofday() returns on this device?

I'm afraid the most I'd be willing to do is to have Click report an error on 
startup if clock_gettime() or gettimeofday() returns a bogus value.  But I'm 
happy to discuss other fixes.

Eddie
