Like I said before, this isn't a sparc64 specific problem, I also see
it on my -current i386 boxes:

tristan# uname -a
FreeBSD tristan.franken.de 5.2-CURRENT FreeBSD 5.2-CURRENT #0: Wed Apr 28 22:11:03 CEST 2004     root@tristan.franken.de:/usr/src/sys/i386/compile/tristan  i386
tristan# /etc/periodic/monthly/200.accounting

Doing login accounting:
(Skipped 709 of 739 records due to invalid time values)
(Changed 3 of 739 records to have a more likely time value)
        root             -65080.69
        marius           -136664.62
        total            -201745.32

I think it's connected to SCHED_ULE, but haven't checked that closely,
yet.
