I had that problem --- even ntp couldn't keep the clock in time.
Turns out that there's a bug in early firmware revisions that
misreports the hardware clock time, leading to bad real-time tracking.
After updating the firmware, the problem went away.
I suggest you check to see if your firmware is at the current
revision.

You are lost in a maze of BitKeeper repositories, all almost the same.
