It can cause some repercussions. I wouldn't recommend changing the time 
backwards by such a large amount while Asterisk is running with active 
calls... but your mileage may vary :-) (And before people jump in and 
say that this already happens when DST shifts occur... that is very 
different, as the actual clock tick counter does _NOT_ change, only the 
userspace representation of 'wall clock time' does)

Certainly it would be safer to wait until a time when there is no call 
activity and change it at that point.
