hi

of late, the clock has been slowing down really badly. I seem to be losing
about 7 minutes every 10! (ie sleep for 600 seconds and lose 400 seconds 
real time)

This is a IIsi running openbsd-current; i have had a look at the source
but can't really fathom whats going on/wrong :) has anyone else
seen this problem? does this appear on netbsd as well? 

tickadj seems to be staying at 40.. could this be related?
ntp is xntp3-5.90-export

thanks

d

ps: i havent clock chipped it either
