Is there an RTC prejudice?

While I haven't [yet] experienced this problem. A bug[1] just came in
on the amd64 list that is over a *year old*, and there are several
individuals involved. As well as several [freebsd] versions. So I
thought I'd raise the issue here. In case someone(tm) thinks they
know what's wrong/ what to do.
