After all the issues seen after the last rollover, I'd think receivers 
would have been made robust against this.

One obvious method would be to keep a checkpoint date (or 1024 week 
cycle # + week offset) in EEPROM. To avoid issues with using up EEPROM 
r/w cycles, only update it anytime the currently received date is more 
than a year beyond the currently stored date.
