Yeah you are right Amos. Actually it was not NTP but some other script in my setup that was changing the system time. Thank You Amos!

Something is seriously screwed with your system clock. 18 hours difference is too much for a local vs GMT difference (max 13 hours difference). I notice you said in your other email that this appears a minute or two after starting the box. This makes me think the box hardware is set with a very badly wrong time, which gets adjusted shortly after bootup by NTP.
