Hi,

On a couple of our boxes, we see these popup randomly, sometimes
way too often:

microuptime() went backwards (267002.298535 -> 267002.295159)
microuptime() went backwards (267002.298535 -> 267002.297651)
microuptime() went backwards (267002.384424 -> 267002.369886)
microuptime() went backwards (267002.427783 -> 267002.402039)
microuptime() went backwards (267002.577015 -> 267002.541318)
microuptime() went backwards (267002.642923 -> 267002.618465)
microuptime() went backwards (267002.642923 -> 267002.607871)
microuptime() went backwards (267002.704413 -> 267002.667297)
microuptime() went backwards (267002.907497 -> 267002.898190)
microuptime() went backwards (267003.066847 -> 267003.065262)
calcru: negative time of -161058988 usec for pid 1593 (perl)

however, when this happens, other than syslogd chewing up the 
available cpu cycles, all the applications start doing wierd
things because the time shifts to really odd values.  We have
to then reset the date and/or reboot to fix it.

We've tried turning off apm in the kernel, as well as set
kern.timecounter.method=1, but the problems have persisted.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
