Related issue: the redhat distribution uses dynamic module loading
extensively. I wouldn't be in the slightest bit surprised if you were
probing for modules which lost ticks during the load. Are the lost
ticks reproducible on a custom-built kernel with no modules on an
otherwise standard redhat system?
