When I first started getting serious about troubleshooting this problem,
I did notice an interaction between apmd and the timing of the time
shift in /var/log/messages. I subsequently disabled apmd and as a
result 2 things happened:
1) There is no longer any indication of any problems in
/var/log/messages (apmd was the only thing balking when the time
drift/shift occurred).
2) The time drift/shift problem continues even with apmd disabled.
