For some time now, I have noticed that the time on my system keeps
lagging behind. I reset it with `date 2005MMDDHHMM` but after a few
days I see that it's lost quite some hours again?

What should I suspect? CMOS battery has been changed, but phenomena
is still there. My localtime is set to correctly using sysinstall
so I don't doubt it.
