To manually change the date and time, go to settings-->Date and time. Then tap on the date, time zone and time each to set correctly.
Done manually, it should stay consistent. Setting by synching actually doesn't work at all, it just appears to temporarily.

A ha! Setting the time manually worked!

Thanks very much for this tip. I had assumed that I couldn't set the time manually, and that it only got set by NTP syncing.
I supposed this might make sense if I recall that a Linux kernel keeps a separate time relative to the system clock time. Perhaps the system time was set to 1970, and the kernel clock obviously cannot sustain an off set of 40 years
Thanks for your suggestions everyone.
