I'm unsure about modern hardware, but older machines often suffered from
clock-drift, and could be particularly affected by system load and/or
weak/dying CMOS batteries.
I'm unsure if ntpdate sets the hardware clock; if it does, I would doubt
this explanation. If not, I would suspect this as the problem.
As far as some of your apps exhibiting strange behaviour, I can only
assume they're clock-sensitive in some way.
