[1.] One line summary of the problem:
Kernel loses 1 minute per 10 minutes while buring CD's with xcdroast
(cdrecord).
[2.] Full description of the problem/report:
I burned several CD-Rs one night and noticed my two Linux boxes, which
sync periodically with the Navy's atomic clock, were over 30 minutes
apart. My SuSE box, with the CD-R, had lost time while burning CD-R's.
CD burning program is xcdroast, which uses cdrecord on the backend.
