I just noticed this thread... Excuse me for jumping in, but I had very
similar problem, which turned out to be a broken RTC on-board chip. (I
also went through changing the timeout value in clock.c . Why is it so

Finally, I had the motherboard replaced, and everything is ok since then. 

Sincerely yours,
