Yeah, sorry about that. Debian insist on running the craptastic procmail, and since it doesn't like my primary email address,I had to rewrite it. Except I rewrote it with my primary address extension by accident and that's what happened. Evidently my choice to leave it be wasn't advisable. :-(
The kernel team seem to be unable to find the cause with the info I gave them. Since AFAICT I have nothing more to give them (will check later) and since it has been quite a long while, I think it's best the bug remain closed. What's more, this old clunker is on the way out (poor thing!) and will soon be replaced with a Mac, so if I run Linux it'll be in a VM or on my existing Mac Mini (could be entirely viable if I get a serial adaptor that works).
Please redirect to the BTS if you think it's relevant. :-)

NP. uname -r says 3.2.0-2-686-pae. The kernel devs said I should turn off ACPI, so I did. Now, the clock is dead on to the speaking clock. I have to assume it worked. :-)
The display was upgraded through one model by the manufacturer. The protocol and configuration are identical from a software perspective. The clock source is now the TSC. ACPI being off really doesn't make much of a difference to this always-on box, and if it's more stable, which it is, then I'm happier.
HTH
Cheers,
