Noticed something on a fresh FC16 based install on a test server in our
lab. Autotest by default runs `make dep` and it seems the clock is
pretty badly skewed on this server, resulting in an infinite loop of:

Anyone know why that happens? Obvious fixes are to either not run `make
dep` or to install an NTP client, and I can do that, but figured I'd
report the above.
