I think I have the problem located. It happens on all AMD CPUs when
configured as generic 686 because the CLOCK_TICK_RATE for the AMD boxes
seems to be 1189200 instead of 1193100 - so after "correcting" the tick
rate in linux/include/asm-i386/timex.h (at the top of the file) - the 
problem is resolved and your test code schows the expeced 0 +/- 32 (on
an idle system - under load the +/- will off course increase).

pleas cross check on your system if this solves it for you - if it does
not I would need detailed specs from the system (checked here on three
different AMD archs (ELAN SC520, AMD Duron , AMD XP)).
