Last night I was configuring a new box. I started out with FreeBSD
4.0-RELEASE (from CD) and cvsupped to 4.1-STABLE. During the cvsup and
the subsequent builds, the clock went nuts several times, spewing kernel
messages about microuptime going negative and meanwhile moving the
system clock forward at about 3:1. Anyway, once I restarted with the
updated world and kernel, the nastiness went away. I don't remember
what's been committed to -STABLE since the 18th, but I do remember
seeing dates of 8/21 and later flash by during the cvsup, so you might
try updating and rebuilding.
