Release notes for Sun OS 4 indicate the need for a cron process to fix a
bug in the date (clock) mechanism. It indicates the lossage is minimal,
less than 5 minutes a year (?) or some such.

Actually, our Sun 3's have been behaving fine with respect to their
keeping time. However, our recently acquired Sparc 330 has been exhibiting
a once a week lossage of about an hour and a half, almost randomly.  Is
there a fix for this?
