Confirming I also see these on a 2.6.12 kernel, in
my case on x86_64.

This is a real failure, but a bogus diagnostic.  The code
checks if tv_sec is 0 and treats that as failure, indicating
the timer value has been cleared.  When it goes to print a
message, it has a hardcoded the value '0' instead of printing 
what it expects - a bug is being filed on that, but that has
nothing to do with why this new failure has cropped up.
