Replying to myself because I found the CAUSE, but not the REASON.

Appears time is alternating 32 minutes back and forth all the time (perhaps
every second or so?). The kernel internal timekeeping seems to work. If I
issue a "sleep 5" at the shell, it returns after 5 seconds. However if I TIME
that command I am receiving very weird results, like:
# time sleep 5
real -.m+*.253s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m0.000s
# time sleep 5
real 33m7.761s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m0.000s
Obviously 'time' is looking at the same alternating value that 'date' is. Same
goes for 'ps' - I look at the process start time, and every time I invoke
'ps', all the values go 32 minutes back and forth in time.
I stopped ntpd and it is still happening so this is not the cause.
Still looking for ideas :)
