    Since you are running on HEAD now, could you also kgdb the live kernel
    and print cpu_ticks?  I believe the sequence is (someone correct me if
    I am wrong):

    kgdb /kernel /dev/mem
    print cpu_ticks

    As for further tests... try building a non-SMP kernel (i.e. one that
    only recognizes one cpu) and see if the problem occurs there.  That
    will determine whether there is a basic problem with time keeping or
    whether it is an issue with SMP.

    I'm afraid there isn't much more I can do to help, other then to make
    suggestions on tests that you can run that will hopefully ring a bell
    with another developer.
