tried that.. doesn't seem to fix anything. It seems to be hwclock causing
the problem (it's run on a boot. I was confused about sleep).
lbedford@chia:~$ sudo /sbin/hwclock
Sun 30 Dec 2001 12:56:52 GMT -0.231984 seconds
lbedford@chia:~$ sudo /sbin/clock
time in rtc is Fri Nov 30 12:56:57 2001
Fri Nov 30 12:56:57 2001
even if I set the date by hand, hwclock still reports the world being a
month ahead.
(I don't understand this well enough to figure it out, but I think I can
just change references to hwclock in /etc/init.d/hwclock.sh to clock?)
