I'm running 2.6.15. I don't think it's that sort of bug since the other three identical systems aren't having the problem.

I've been meaning to find a lull time (when everyone's asleep) to stop all the processes on the box and see if it still loses time. I'm fairly suspicious of java for some reason, maybe something I heard once.

Thanks for the suggestion, though.
