Wow.  I think Dave just suggested that Michael install Windows to see if 
that fixes the problem ;)  We can't be having that on this list.

Michael, here are a couple things to look at.  Are you running ntpd 
(for those who don't already know, Network Time Protocol is used to 
synchronize a computer's time with another time source reference)?  If so, 
what source(s) are you using?  Could NTP be fighting between your sources 
(not sure if it happens, but talk about a great way to DOS--get everyone 
to trust your server, then poison it).

What are the results of "date", "hwclock", and "ntpdc -s"?

Does your system use any sort of speed-stepping?  I suppose that if the
system speed changes, it's possible that the count could get messed up.

Just a couple thoughts.
