I just upgraded a 2.2.8-STABLE system to 3.3-STABLE. There seems to be
an issue with the kernel understanding the timezone setting in 3.3
that I do not recall in 2.2.x.

This machine dual boots into Windoze when I _have_ to use MS Word or
Powerpoint. For that reason, I have /etc/wall_cmos_clock set. But I've
noticed that the system seems to get the time wrong during the initial
stages of the boot (until adjkerntz(8) gets called),

My machine does take a while to boot (see the five minute lag), but
not quite four hours.

What made this really catch my eye is that I do not recall this
problem with the 2.2.x releases. Is something broken in 3.3? Or is
there some obscure bit of startup configuration hiding on my machine
from 2.2.8 that is breaking the proper functioning of adjkerntz? Do
other people with "fresh" (not upgrades) installs of 3.x see this on
machines that dual boot (with /etc/wall_cmos_clock)?

If this is really has changed, I think a PR should be put
in... Hmmm... Unless there is one already, I'll check that...

Thanks.
