Just wondering, has someone been fiddling with the clock-slowdown
problem?  At any rate, I'm having a new problem with the clock here.

Before, the clock would be set correctly when I booted NetBSD and
would fall behind the longer NetBSD ran.  (I know about the problem
with clock interrupts.)  However, when I rebooted into the MacOS, the
clock was up-to-date.

Now, it seems that whatever time loss I suffer under NetBSD carries
into the clock value stored in PRAM, and the slowdown shows up in the
MacOS.  Not a horrible problem, as I can always reset the clock with
the Network Time control panel, but that does require dialing up for
me.  (And yes, I could do it by hand, but I like that even less.)

Has something changed in the code?  Am I losing my mind?
