Hrmm. I'm not super familiar w/ SuSE's init scripts, but I'm guessing
that's the ntpdate call. And "Tuesday Jul 24th"? Sounds about a month
off, is this just stale info?

Does this show up before or after the above date stuff? 
Does the issue go away using an older kernel (I want to eliminate easy
stuff like CMOS batteries giving up)?

Also you're not using Linus' CMOS corrupting suspend/resume debugging
trick, right (I'm forgetting the CONFIG name).
