I have the GMT bias set to 120 minutes (MET-DST), the "Map" control panel
is set to Berlin, I'm using the GENERIC#29 kernel from the latest snapshot
(the one with the ADB routines), so I don't expect it to have RTC_OFFSET.
When I just reboot the system, everything is fine. Only after installing,
the time gets wrong, by some random amount. I've seen differences between
half an hour and several hours.

Best wishes,

          Nico
