>Description:
After following the freebsd-update instructions (http://www.freebsd.org/releases/9.0R/installation.html) to upgrade to 9.0-RELEASE, we have found that VMs running in HVM mode in Xen 3.2.1 have an issue where the clock stops working after about 3 minutes:


# date
Mon Jan 23 20:06:21 UTC 2012
# date
Mon Jan 23 20:09:48 UTC 2012

Any other call of date after this outputs the same result.

New processes cannot be started and the machine is essentially frozen.
>How-To-Repeat:
Create a Xen 3.2.1 HVM virtual machine running FreeBSD 9.0.
