I don't know what is causing this problem but all I know is that I have
narrowed it down to being caused either by a package or by the install
system. I installed from the woody install disks then upgraded to sid.
What happenes is that the time jumps ahead then back, eg (this is output
from "while true; do date;done"

The only thing I did differently then previous installs was I told the
installer that it could set the bios go UTC. The only time it is really
noticable is when in X, the screensaver kicks in when it jumps.
