I seem to have an unusual problem with respect to the clock on my Q60 system. The system is Q60 60mhz 64M ram as seen by SMSQE 128M Physical memory SMSQE v 3.13 as assembled from sources. The problem is not with the hardware clock. but apparently with SMSQE. On boot up of the machine I normally print the date and time and a simple menu asking whether I want SMSQE or Linux. The Time is more or less accurate. If I boot into SMSQE and let the system run for a reasonable time printing date$ seems to indicate that the clock is losing seconds at an large rate ,apparently 1 minute per hour. This was so whether I typed Prot_date 1 or prot_date 0 immediatly after a normal boot. If I do a soft reset the time display and hence the clock reverts to a more or less accurate value. I am baffled by this. Cursory looking at the SMSQE sources seems not to reveal what is going wrong but either my system is playing up or there maybe timing problems in SMSQE. Has anyone else noticed this problem or have any idea of how to fix it. A temporary fix would involve a polled task but much better would be in the operating sytem itself.
