Hi, after almost 50 days of uptime I suddenly noticed an extreme clock drift in current. Here is an excerpt from my /var/log/messages (March 8th was my last reboot time): Mar 8 18:38:07 gate syslogd: kernel boot file is /boot/kernel/kernel Mar 8 18:38:07 gate kernel: Copyright (c) 1992-2002 The FreeBSD Project.

After a reboot everything was OK again. The drift began exactly at the moment the counter for clock interrupts got past the 2^31 mark (I have HZ=500 in the kernel): 500 ticks/s * 49.7 days ~ 2^31 ticks After a reboot everything went ok again.
