Virtual clock lost battery ?

Vorkstation 6 on Fedora Core 2/64, Athlon X2, Windows XP 32 as guest. Worked ok in this configuration for about 6 weeks, two days ago I updated Linux kernel and now the clock in the guest is anywhere between 15-20 per hour late !!!. Anybody seen something like this ? Any suggestions what to do ?

I tried sync with VMtools, with windows network time, and NetTime.exe - neither helped much and with this amount of slowdown, it would require sync every second ...

thanks
