Hi,

Jonathan Frederickson <jonathan <at> terracrypt.net> skribis:

> I've also run into what looks like the same thing on a laptop that does have an RTC, but it also has an NTP daemon running on it. (I have also noticed that this is most common on that laptop after a suspend/resume cycle, so maybe that's triggering the bug as well?)

Suspend/resume does not trigger the bug no (fortunately), but a clock
jump due to NTP sync can cause it (specifically, shepherd will consume
CPU time proportional to the drift).

Ludo’.
