Hi Ron!

	We used to have this problem with the jiffies clock, which is why the
big clock change occurred: after some period of time the tick code would
go into an infinite loop.  If your "struct lguest_data" has a "struct
timespec time" field, it's the new one.

Hmm, the clock isn't here (it'd be 0).  Perhaps I overrode it too hard

Can you send your .config?

Thanks,
