Description Guido 2020-07-31 13:51:15 UTC 
SDL 2.0.10 on self build Linux (kernel 4.9) for an embedded target.

When changing the system time to a time/date in the past (using "date" on the terminal of the target) the SDL timers in my application don't trigger anymore. I guess this kind of makes sense, but it is a bit of a pain having to manual restart the timers after a date/time change.

FYI:
-Target is not connected to the internet in normal operation, that's why the system time/date has to be changed manually.
