The time of day is very inaccurate.  It seems to lose a little more
than one minute per hour while the system is active.  I tried

	# cd /usr/test
	# while true do
	> date
	> run
	> done

and let it run overnight.  In six hours the time of day had fallen
behind more than six minutes.  Has anyone else found this problem?

I am running a Zenith Z-151 with a NEC V-20.  I have not modified
the crystal or the clock.
