Resyncing the clock with ntp-client works but that's not an ideal 
solution as I happen to resume from sleep/hibernate offline quite a 
bit. Do you mean that restarting ntpd, even online works too? I might 
check this.

I have no random lockups... The CMOS clock is fine (I checked before 
booting). Booting the kernel give the correct time. After suspend to 
disk (using swsusp2), the clock has drifted slightly. After suspend to 
RAm, the drift is more significant. This is with a vanilla 2.6.12.5 
kernel on a TP R51 1829-9MG on a. Only patches are swsusp2 and the 
radeon powerdrain patch.

This is the only problem so far with 2.6.12.5. The rest is rock solid.
