My system loses time while I use the framebuffer.

I updated my kernel to 2.4.3 when the patch was released. (Tarballs -
wonderful things!)
However, I noticed that the kernel timer loses seconds over time with both the
2.4.2 and 2.4.3 kernels (seems to be at a steady rate...), and the rate of
loss is NOT related to the CMOS clock. I compared against a 2.2.18 kernel,
which lost about 1 second in 14 hours - about what I'd expect with my
machine).
Now, has anybody else noticed their 2.4.x kernel losing time? If so, and
anyone knows how I can fix it so it behaves like 2.2.18, I'd be grateful.

System clock loses time at approx 17 secs per two hours
First off, CC: back to me, as my machine can't handle an estimated 200
messages a day for me to sign up to the list 8-( - Anyway..
I updated my kernel to 2.4.3 when the patch was released. (Tarballs -
wonderful things!)
However, I noticed that the kernel timer loses seconds over time with both the
2.4.2 and 2.4.3 kernels (seems to be at a steady rate...), and the rate of
loss is NOT related to the CMOS clock. I compared against a 2.2.18 kernel,
which lost about 1 second in 14 hours - about what I'd expect with my
machine).
Now, has anybody else noticed their 2.4.x kernel losing time? If so, and
anyone knows how I can fix it so it behaves like 2.2.18, I'd be grateful.
Can't say I like the April Fools release on "behalf" of Linus.
