More RTC info

I found a little more info on my RTC situation. It appears my RTC stops
generating update IRQ's (or at least the user programs stop receiving
them) after about 18hrs of heavy system load. The first cat shows my
/proc/rtc during the usual hanging hwclock. The second cat shows my
/proc/rtc after modifying hwclock to not care about an update interrupt
and doing a system->hardware set.

$ cat /proc/rtc
rtc_time : 85:43:24
rtc_date : 1999-12-08
rtc_epoch : 1900
alarm : **:**:05
DST_enable : no
BCD : no
24hr : yes
square_wave : no
alarm_IRQ : no
update_IRQ : yes
periodic_IRQ : no
periodic_freq : 1024
batt_status : okay
