Well, while you're right about that, an offset should not matter for the test, right?

About my clock: The result of booting a "different" system on that box... (In this case even a kubuntu using hw clock in tz...). thanks for pointing it out!

In any case, that test was on a different box with clean checkout and make clean. I don't think anyone jumped the clock right in between each of my 20 or so test runs.
