The remaining patches were not applied. The delay varies, probably depending
on the state of the external drive.

All of them: HP C2502 (53C400A), Canon FG2-5202 (53C400) and DTCT-436P.

The timekeeping warning does not appear when all 71 patches are applied.
Reverse-bisected it - the warning disappears after:
