I remember having similar problems when I used to run Linux some time
ago. Linux uses some mechanism for managing drifting clocks, and
sometimes this mechanism seems to go way off (at least it did for me). 

IIRC the problem was solved using the manual pages for "adjtimex" and
"hwclock" and by fixing one file in /etc. 

(I don't know if this helps you, but it could be something atleast :-)

Cheers,
