set_rtc_mmss: can't update from 0 to 59

I was trying to figure out why I periodically get the message

set_rtc_mmss: can't update from 0 to 59

on my console. It appears that the kernel is attempting to update my CMOS
clock for me, based on the more accurate data being provided by my xntpd.

According to the notes in the code, this should work if my RTC is less than
15 minutes off... which I can guarantee it is. Accoring to hwclock, it's
less than a second off.

So, what's causing this message?
