Well, just to prove you wrong, here's a nagging annoyance I don't know how to fix.

The system is a desktop computer.

Twice a year, when we change to daylight saving time and back to standard time, the clock/calendar on my computer starts displaying dates and times that would pass a lot of tests for randomness. The date is always behind the actual date, by a varying number of days, but never more than a month or so; the time does seem truly random. The discrepancy is waaay beyond zulu vs. local time.

The date and time in CMOS is correct. The battery is fresh.

I have repeatedly adjusted the date and time, including as root, and that doesn't fix it. (The time & date stay corrected until the system is rebooted.)

Eventually--maybe over the course of a couple of months--it'll settle down to the correct date and a time that is within a few minutes of reality. Close enough for jazz.

The problem has developed over the last year or two; it didn't exist when the computer was new.

Thoughts?

Thanks.
