System clock repeatedly gets botched after `sorcery system-update` or 
similar. 
I always use hwclock to update.  However, my time keeps getting reset when I
haven't requested it.  I suspect hwclock (util-linux-2.21r package) or 
similar.
 /etc/adjtime should never be touched after initial install unless the user
specifically requests it.

Will monitor /etc/adjtime to see if it's the problem.

This is easily fixed by the following:
  hwclock --utc --set --date="02/19/2008 20:54:55"
  hwclock --utc --hctosys
Then my time continues on until it gets trashed again.  hwclock has been 
unable
to compenstate for systematic drift.  (Thus, why I suspect /etc/adjtime is 
being
over-written.)
