Does anyone have a path that make /sbin/clock work? I vaguely remember someone
posting it a while ago. Right now s /sbin/clock -w just gives me a segfault.

This version fixes the clock segfault on "-w" on our desktop machines,
but our Dell portable still gets a segfault.  Not only that, but the
it actually halts the hardware clock in the process (not good).  If we
revert to 2.5-4, everything works fine.  So it looks like the patch
worked, but only for some machines.

Thanks
