It then resumed running with the same delta from the quarter hour until 00:02am on Apr 21. A bit later, I see that ntpd reports that ntp had no servers available to sync (at 2:31am). Doesn't seem related, but I am mentioning it anyways, as cron is, after all, time based.
Strange that you get it now. The last threat I read on the other linux related mailing list I follow was also about a system time going crazy - flipping 32 minutes back and forth every second or so. Can you try running "date" manually a few times from the shell and say what you see? Might worth googling for news about the ntp.org web site, maybe it (or the NTP network) is under attack. --Amos
