On machines without RTC, both EmuTOS and Atari TOS initialize the system
date to the TOS build date if no valid date is found stored in the IKBD.
Since Hatari 2.4 sadly ships with the already one-year-old EmuTOS 1.1.1,
you get its build date. We therefore must assume that initializing the
IKBD from the host did not work as intended.
