So Ingo pushed a fix the other day that might address this:
http://git.linaro.org/gitweb?p=people/jstultz/linux.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=1d17d17484d40f2d5b35c79518597a2b25296996

But do let me know any reproduction details if you can trigger this 
again.  If you do trigger it again without that patch, watch to see if 
the time value from date is running much faster then it should.

thanks
