Hi all, Not sure who takes care of Bugzilla but if someone could add a GCC4 category to the 'Versions' that are used to describe which book the bug is noted in, it would be good. I added a bug that is specific to the GGC4 branch, but could find no way to really identify it as such. -- Randy rml

System clock hastening

2005-08-08 Thread Jens Olav Nygaard
My system clock seems to gain an extra five minutes per hour, as reported by 'date' compared to 'hwclock --show'. (The hw clock seems to be reasonably accurate.) (The gain also seems to be dependent on what I do, eg., if the system is just idle, the system clock doesn't gain as much.) Googling ar
