Either
1. Turn suspend-on-idle off
2. Compile in APM support (you dont need to compile any apm options, tho;
you just need to put in APM so do_slow_gettimeoffset gets used
3. Use some patch that was floating around and solved the problem without
having to use do_slow_gettimeoffset

Search the archieves for details.
