Can it be that your BIOS set the system in sleep mode during that 9
hours? I have a wrong time whenever that happens (and Laurent is
right in a sense that adjtime then thinks your clock is slow and
tries to correct this).
I heard the solution to this problem is mentioned in
/usr/doc/HOWTO/mini/Battery-Powered.gz, but I haven´t read up on
that topic yet.
