Ahahh.. Did you accidentally set CONFIG_MELAN in .config? That would
do about 1 second fast per hour. If not, then do: echo "">/etc/adjtime
(used to be you could delete it), now I think you
need to truncate it. Sometimes this file gets corrupt and
it takes many settings of stime to undue the corrupt-ness.
