As specified in rfc2030, timestamps are calculated as fixed point seconds from
Jan. 1 1900. This works correctly for any non-zero timestamp. 

If a packet is generated with a timestamp of 1 second, when that NTP packet is
viewed and contents inspected wireshark will display

Jan 1 1900 00:01

But if a packet contains a zeroed out timestamp it will display

"Jan 1 1970 00:00" rather than "Jan 1 1900 00:00" as it should.
