Package: adjtimex
Version: 1.22-1
Severity: normal

During an upgrade while running CPU hog 'qemu' in 
the background:

    Setting up adjtimex (1.22-1) ...
    Regulating system clock...done.
    Comparing clocks (this will take 70 sec)...adjtimex: Invalid argument
    done.
    Adjusting system time by -380133 sec/day to agree with CMOS clock...done.

A four day adjustment.

It seems 'adjtimex' is quite clock & CPU dependent; if so, it could
check if the CPU was busy before making tests; or a maximum adjustment,
if exceeded, generates an error or else triggers some appropriate
response.

Hope this helps...
