[Info-vax] boottime in the future

As part of my startup stuff, I have (in a file called from
SYLOGICALS.COM): 

   $    OPEN/APPEND/SHARE BOOT_HISTORY CLUSTER_MANAGER:BOOT.HISTORY
   $    WRITE BOOT_HISTORY "''F$GETSYI("BOOTTIME")' ''NODENAME' ''F$TIME()"
   $    CLOSE BOOT_HISTORY

A typical record looks like:

   19-DEC-2011 21:57:47.00 QUEMOT 19-DEC-2011 21:58:40.39

Which is fine.  Actually, all the records are fine, except one (written 
before I added the F$TIME):

    1-JAN-2015 00:06:43.00 LEEBIG

Note the date in the future.  Again, this is called from SYLOGICALS.COM
(at the end).  Why the strange date?

Since then, all the other nodes have rebooted (one quite often since it 
is a satellite and only booted up when I need it, the others as a 
consequence of a switch failure).  F$GETSYI("BOOTTIME") still shows the 
above timestamp.
