Subject: Bug#395247: [s390] System clock runs wild (in hercules emulator)

Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.18-2
Severity: grave
After booting my hercules emulator with 2.6.18, I noticed some errors during
a packages upgrade, like:
tar: ./config: time stamp 2006-10-27 10:52:22.00126 is 4290.653417 s in the
future
Further investigation showed that the system clock in running wild:
$ date
Fri Oct 27 05:36:58 CEST 2006
$ date
Fri Oct 27 05:41:40 CEST 2006
$ date
Fri Oct 27 06:25:24 CEST 2006
$ date
Fri Oct 27 09:01:09 CEST 2006
$ date
Fri Oct 27 18:19:04 CEST 2006
These 'date' commands were given within 15-20 minutes or so. Actual time
when the emulator was started was around 2006-10-24 17:30.
After rebooting the emulator with 2.6.17-9, the problem was gone.
This series from a later boot with 2.6.18, taken within 2 minutes, is even
crazier.
It shows the clock jumping all over the place (real time Oct 24, 22:30):

I'm running hercules 3.04.1 on an EM64T host system. The system clock on the
host runs normally.
