Unfortunatly we callculate the "reset_time_utc" only once at the start of the application and then rarely update it. So if the time in the system is changed we still use the old one.

That bug was fixed by the "recalculation" system time more often. But it does not solve the general time issue and the code was reworked again by the https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8046495
