I plan on changing to my 387 processor Real Soon Now, and will : see if this goes away. I will fix it. The problem is that when the GPL MATH code is added, the kernel structures change, and mess things up. I had the same problem when I was running FreeBSD-1.1R with the GPL Math emulator added in. : Also, the process time elapsed is wacky, but not as wacky as the process start : times would indicate. : Another possible contributor to the problem - I'm using the : /etc/.wall_cmos_clock option, and my boot logs complain about not being able to : find a /etc/.adkerneltz (sp?) file. Perhaps the kernal is confused about what : time is actually is wrt what the processes think the time is? I doubt it. BTW should the file not be /etc/wall_cmos_clock and not a dot file?
