Clock doesn't tick
This is a strange one, I've never seen anything like it; the realtime clock doesn't tick while the computer's idle, only when you're watching it. Leave for 3 hours and it'll be 3 hours off. It still advances when it's off however, or the time would be far more incorrect than it is.
About all this could be, in my opinion at least, is a strange power-management bug, and installed chipset drivers downloaded from sony, to no avail.
It's a Sony Vaio VGN-CS190.
Has anyone ever heard of a problem like this?

Hi there!!!
Need your help in solving some tricky problems.
Since clock() as such is buggy on SUN OS 5 we have started using gettimeofday() in our RTOS applications based on Solaris 9.
