[ltp] t30 clock resetting on suspend

[George Yanos]

I can't remember all the details, in fact I may never have known all
the details, but I did have a similar problem.  In my case it was
connected to confusion among various parts of linux about whether or
not the hardware clock was running on GMT or local time.  I think the
4hr change is suggestive, since eastern daylight time and GMT are 4
hours apart.
