Uh huh.  And I bet I know why you keep jumping time zones, too.  apm
has its own ideas about your time zone.  It's happened to me.  Make
sure a) your hardware clock keeps time in GMT, and b) your apm scripts
all use the -u switch.

You might check BIOS for a flag to disable sleep and suspend, and as a
last resort, rebuild your kernel without APM support (you don't want
that on a server anyway).

Hope that helps a bit.
