Well, maybe. I don't have the stomach to read the documentation the two 
dozen or so times it would require to begin to figure out what that 
gobledygook is trying to say. But it sounds like you can get the timer 
interrupt interval, which is roughly the rate at which the clock ticks, 
depending on whether someone has enabled time adjustment (in which case 
they specify how much to adjust the clock by on each tick) or not (in which 
case the system is free to use other adjustment mechanisms).

I don't think it solves the problem. <g>
