Sound that the fix for clock is not enough. With
2.6.12-25.tmb1mdksmp, running:

watch -n 1 "ntpdate -d <timesource> 2>&1|grep offset"

will show that after a few minutes (3-4) the drift is already >= 0.1s,
while on a working machine it won't go beyond 0.001s. Which means
clock is 100-1000 times less precise.
