Subject:   microuptime() oddness

Hello, I have a machine (AMD Athlon 1.2ghz, 256MB ram) running
FreeBSD-stable, and have been noticing a lot of weird kernel debug messages
like:

microuptime() went backwards (7467.677311 -> 7467.-694689197)
microuptime() went backwards (7718.041075 -> 7718.-695325418)
calcru: negative time of -1984434482 usec for pid 365 (setiathome)
calcru: negative time of -1984434287 usec for pid 365 (setiathome)
calcru: negative time of -1984434107 usec for pid 365 (setiathome)
calcru: negative time of -1984433927 usec for pid 365 (setiathome)
<repeat many, many times>

Does anyone have any idea whats causing this?

The microuptime() thing has been happening ever since the box was first
installed, at which time it was running 4.3-RELEASE. The calcru stuff has
been happening since I started running seti@home on it.
I think the two are related.

The box's dmesg follows:
