This has been discussed (to death) in sci.geo.satellite-nav.
If you are really interested fire up your web browser and browse Deja
News for that topic. In short, this rollover has been in test suites
for years - using GPS Satellite Signal Simulators - and you have to
have a old model from just a few manufacturers before you would
experience the problem. I have seen designs take this rollover into
account and not have any problems, that were done back in the '80s.
