Process start times moving in reverse on 2.6.8.1

ISTR discussion on the mailing list about this problem,
and recently upgraded from 2.6.3 to 2.6.8.1 to hopefully
solve it, but alas the problem still exists.

Example:

# date ; ps -ef | grep ps | grep -v grep
Mon Oct 4 14:53:39 EDT 2004
root 29412 29351 0 14:51 pts/0 00:00:00 ps -ef

Notice the two minute difference between now and what the
process start time is. Uptime on this box is 48 days, so
it is a gradual drift.

Any ideas on this? Or has it been fixed since 2.6.8.1?

Phil
