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. -- Dr Peter Chubb peterc@gelato.unsw.edu.au You are lost in a maze of BitKeeper repositories, all almost the same.
