I have encountered the clock problem when using the ubuntu kernel 2.6.10. After most of the sleeps the laptop could not recover and I was forced to reset. Invariably the clock was set to 1-jan-1904 and I had problems with various gnome applets.
Is there a way to avoid such problems (besides the obviuos solution of using a more stable kernel), because I feel that whenever I will have a problem and the laptop will have to be hard-resetted I will have to set again and again the clock as I am behind a stooopid firewall.
