Happy New Year folks!

Unfortunately, since the beginning of the new year, fe2o3 (my ICM3216) keeps
reporting each minute (or there abouts) that the rtclock is off by 86400
seconds +/- 1. This comes to be 1-day worth of seconds.  Naturally, I'm
running UToronto's BSD4.2 so I'm not sure if this is a software or hardware
bug.  Maybe my clock battery is going dead as I've had fe2o3 up and running
for almost two years nearly continuous.

NSC folks:  How long's that little battery s'pose to last?

Is anyone else having this problem?  If you're running this BSD port check
your /usr/adm/messages file and if the same is happening to you the file
should have grown by about 1-meg in size since the new year.

Thanks for bearing with me!
