4.2BSD and the VAX 11/780 clock (try again)

[Harvard Townsend]

It looks like the first attempt for this message was gobbled up somewhere
along the line, so I'll try again.  We are having a problem with the
11/780 clock and 4.2BSD setting the data and time when rebooting.  Upon
reboot, 4.2BSD comes up with a bogus date and time - it is sometimes
a few hours off, others a few days, and others a few months.  The maintenance
folks have replaced the clock module in the VAX, but the symptom persists.
Their suspicion is that it is a 4.2BSD problem (they, of course, know
nothing about UNIX - "If you were running VMS, ...", they say).  Has
anyone had this problem before?  If so, do you have a fix?  Thanks.
