Default GPS week rollover issue

On April 6th of this year the GPS week will roll over and on some older instruments it could mess up the date. How many of our soaring instruments might have this problem?

There's some potential for problems, but some of the firmware has been
hacked to delay the actual appearance of the problem for years in the
future. I doubt there's going to be a big ripple of problems in April.
