[nycbug-talk] clock running backwords

[George Georgalis]

on an event-less standard install of FreeBSD 5.4, from cdrom, I
get this in my logs for every pid:

Sep 23 15:37:35 tiva kernel: calcru: negative runtime of -1993158 usec for pid 457 (sshd)
Sep 23 15:37:45 tiva kernel: calcru: negative runtime of -1320025 usec for pid 462 (sshd)
Sep 23 15:38:01 tiva kernel: calcru: negative runtime of -665357 usec for pid 466 (sshd)
Sep 23 15:38:01 tiva kernel: calcru: negative runtime of -2684144 usec for pid 465 (sshd)
Sep 23 15:38:09 tiva kernel: calcru: negative runtime of -671008 usec for pid 470 (ls)

The box is old and could have a failed cmos battery, but I doubt
it cause it's been off for a while and while ntp doesn't seem to
have been run...

> grep ntp /etc/rc.conf
> grep ntp /var/log/messages

The clock is to the second, per eye compare with box running ntp.

...more research and I've found that the problem goes away when I
boot with no APCI. Maybe a build world will fix it, that will take
a while, but planned anyway. Anybody have comments or experience
with this?
