I also just recently noticed my system clock is WAY off!
I have tried the suggestions mentioned on this list, so far, as well as whatever I 
could find on google.  This includes "rm /etc/adjtime" followed by resetting the 
hardware clock.  I have tried setting the system clock from the hardware clock and 
vise versa.  There appears to be nothing wrong with my hardware clock;

"hwclock" outputs following (correct) time:
Wed Feb  4 22:02:10 2004  -0.288672 seconds

"cat /etc/adjtime" outputs:
0.129944 1075822593 0.000000
1075822593
LOCAL

"date" outputs:
Wed Feb  4 20:40:38 JST 2004

I have the time set to local because I have a dual-boot with winXP.  The system clock 
loses time really fast.  I can set it correctly before going to work, come back, and 
it's behind an hour!  This is a pretty big problem.  I would appreciate any help.  I 
could sync with a time server, but I shouldn't *have* to.

Thanks.
