Comment:

 Steps to repro

  * boot to sugar
  * switch desktop to gnome
  * sudo date -s 1/1/1970
  * sudo hwclock --hctosys
  * reboot

 You'll want a serial adapter or ssh in -- using a VT is painful given
 systemd restart policy.

 Gnome-settings-daemon is dumping core. I added ulimit -c unlimited to
 olpc-session and grabbed a couple coredumps and got backtraces. The
 backtraces are odd, and seem to imply missing glibc debuginfo (which I
 definitely have installed). Uploading them soon.

 All of this was done on build 5.
