Is that an error or the time of synchronization of the Gregorian
calendar with our present modern day calendar? Where they had to omit
the days from 3rd to 13th in order to be able to squeeze in the siderial
year? 

May be the Unix people's history is stronger and memory is better
compared to us low mortals ?

Thinking and wondering ;-P
