The machdep.adjkerntz trick works by reading the status register -
which implicitly acknowledges the interrupt and allows further
interrupts to be generated.  I can't explain how this would effectivly
increase the interrupt frequency by 1Hz.  Is is possible your CMOS
battery is dead?

Setting the time/date will have the same effect.
