I am not sure why this got replied to the list. I didn't see any other 
comments.

The pine developers looked at my detailed debugging and they told me it 
was a clock issue.

I had already been told my CPU has a broken TSC (related to some other 
problems I had brought up).

I build a kernel with updates in arch/i386/i386/cpu.c and 
arch/i386/i386/identcpu.c all appears to be good for over a month now.

This also fixed problems with negatime times shown by ps(1) and also BIND 
"time warp" problems. Also, my system would kernel panic, but has not 
happened since kernel update (I have a PR about this).
