Hi all,
if you did experience timer problems like system time going wild,
please try the new "options TIMER_USE_1" in your kernel config and
report if this does (not) solve your problem. Even if you don't have
problems, I'd like to know if this change does break any machine.

What problems could possibly arise with using this option on systems where the timer 
was not a source of trouble?
