While date Do Read -t 60 x Done In another terminal, adjust the system clock by a few seconds Repeat hourly until the read hangs. Sometimes it hangs immediately after setting clock, Sometimes it runs for hours. I have seen hangs semi regularly for the last 5, maybe 10+ years. It often hangs with no apparent system clock changes, But more often when a cron job runs ntp No VM involved. Hangs on multiple AMD systems.
