But the good news is, it is not really too bad. hwclock is run only during
boot and shutdown, if you can set you clock with other means (rdate, ntp),
the system will run fine. Even without this, it will run fine, only your
system time is wrong. On my mac, I added an rdate or ntp call early in the
startup and everything is fine, including cron jobs.
If you can fix this kernel bug, though, it would be even nicer, so please
send a patch!
