some very dumb questions -

- what do you mean by that clock_settime failed??
- when you say "clock_gettime()returned a non-current time value", you mean it 
returned a value lesser or more than current time?
- how do you find current time? is your order
   clock_gettime
   get current time
   compare them
OR
   get current time
   clock_gettime
   compare them

- if above are your steps, have you tried doing these under disabled interrupts 
and found same results? i am not talking of clock_settime with disabled 
interrupts, here.
