On searching for that error message, I did get two hits:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-testing/2006/10/msg00005.html
http://lists.debian.org/debian-testing/2006/09/msg00000.html
The second implicates VMware, so it may be relevant that I just today
installed VMware Server 1.0.2 for the first time. I'm not sure, but that may
be when the problem started. I tried rebooting without the init.d scripts
httpd.vmware and vmware, but that didn't fix anything. I still get the wrong
date, and hwclock still times out.
