Tom, I've seen this problem before on Windows systems (especially Win98 
but only with the Win9x kernels). Usually it is when idle for a few 
days, but not always.

In one case that I can remember, it went so loopy that it was advancing 
one hour a second. Only a reboot would stop it. In that case it was idle 
only for a few hours (it was a users desktop machine).

I've never seen it occur on NT based systems.

Peter
