I'm running kernel 2.4.17rc1 and I detected suddenly changes of
systemtime. I saw it in KDE and tested it afterwards in a konsole. I
repeated as fast as possible the date program as following:

This problem appears not directly after reboot but some time after
reboot. The time when it appears after reboot is different. I can't say
it's after 3 hours or 10 hours. It suddenly appears and doesn't
disappear. I have to reboot the system to get rid of the problem.
One effect of this problem is: The X-server begins to blink (the screen
[not the monitor itself!] is going off and on again).
Do you remember? I wrote the same problem ("blinking screen") some time
ago - now, I probably found the reason.
I couldn't reproduce this problem with none of the ac-patches!
