Clock has stopped (time/date looping over 5 seconds), things are broken - what to check to debug?

So far what I have is that the clock is moving between
10:01:03 to 10:01:07 (when it gets to 07 it goes back to 03), doing rdate -s
results in things changing:
16:12:38 to 16:12:43 (resets back to :38).
Doing this:
while true ; do date; usleep 1000000; done

It stops at :43, ^C is required, and you can then restart it with repeatable results.
This F7 - 2.6.23.15-80.fc7
dmesg/messages contain nothing abnormal.
This machine has done it several times, a freqency of maybe 1x per every couple of weeks or so. I believe it had also done this with: 2.6.22.9-91.fc7 so it
has been doing this for a while. It used to work with some older kernel (I don't know which).
Given what the clock is doing, things that sleep at the wrong time hang forever, and a number of other things fail to work.
vmstat 1 results in a single line being printed out, and then a floating point exception.
"shutdown -r now" fails to complete, power cycle is required to get the machine
back up.
I don't believe any hardware failure that I can think of would cause the clock to do what mine is doing.
Ideas?
