The RTC has nothing to do with kernel time after boot. It is only used to initialize the kernel internal clock which is updated by the PIC interrupts (And there isn't an "Uninterrupt" which can swing the "jiffies" counter backwards :-) > Are you using ntpd?

Regretfully, it does look like a severe kernel/glibc bug. -- Oron Peled Voice/Fax: +972-4-8228492 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.actcom.co.il/~oron ICQ UIN: 16527398 He who sacrifices functionality for ease of use Loses both and deserves neither ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
