Marcelo, Helio,

This is a known bug and fixed in a patch that has been presented to
lm-sensors.

http://lists.lm-sensors.org/pipermail/lm-sensors/2005-December/014724.html

In addition to the bug fix, that patch adds support for some other m41txx
rtc chips and there is an outstanding question that needs to be answered
before it can continue on (read: a final patch presented & accepted).

Please bear with me and hopefully it will be fixed soon.

Mark
