I've never seen one gain steadily but they might also exist. If 386bsd manages to keep time more accurately than and independently from the BIOS clock, sudden jumps in time would occur at reboots since the time is initialised from the BIOS clock. Maybe it has nothing to do with this. -- Adam David (adam@veda.is)
