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.
