Does anyone know a way to fix the clock skew on an SMP alpha machine?  I am
running 5.0-CURRENT as of 2001/12/27.  The system clock is falling behind
quickly.  The machine has 3 250Mhz engines.  Running a "sleep 10" command
actually sleeps for 20 seconds.

I am not as concerned about sleep taking so long as I am keeping the clock
accurate for system processes and file time stamps.
