While we are talking, I also noticed that my time is constantly off by 
the same amount after every boot (yes, I am using ntpd), which is 22,169 
seconds (I run ntpdate on every boot, which shows me offset).

However, if I manually call rtc.read-rtc method via OF prompt, adjust 
time for DIFF19041970 then the difference is much less. Do you have any 
idea what the problem might be? This is 7.1-BETA.
