Title:
  Desktop clock is stopped at 4:31 with uptime at 270 days.

Status in gnome-panel package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-applets

  My desktop clock stopped updating the other day, and it's been saying
  "4:31" ever since.  At first I thought this was some sort of daylight
  savings time bug, but then I checked my uptime, which at that time was
  267 days.

  I further noted that 267 days, when converted to seconds, crosses over
  an interesting boundary:

  (gdb) p/x 267*24*60*60
  $1 = 0x1600080

  This is on a 32 bit system with ubuntu 8.04.1:

  jsnow@dev1:~$ cat /etc/issue
  Ubuntu 8.04.1 \n \l

  jsnow@dev1:~$ uname -a
  Linux dev1 2.6.24-22-generic #1 SMP Mon Nov 24 18:32:42 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
  jsnow@dev1:~$
