Weired things happen...

The system was rebuilt yesterday from yesterday's sources.
I just recompiled and installed ntp as you suggested and rebooted.
Five minutes later the screen (running X) blinked and the date got reset.
(the log says it was reset by 29.7 seconds, but it's not what I am seing)

Now 'date' shows this:
 $ date                              
Mon Sep 18 20:11:06 CWT 1944

and 'top' shows:
  PID USERNAME PRI NICE  SIZE   RES STATE WAIT     TIME    CPU COMMAND
 4481 root      64    0  248K  532K run   -        2:58 72.80% cron


Upon reboot I started three terminals - here is the output:

$ while true;do date ; sleep 1; done
