Thanks for the report.

The buildfarm server is currently reporting a time 25 minutes too fast.
I have previously discussed with the server administrators the necessity
of running an NTP daemon on the machine, but I will do so again.

This is one area where git (or almost anything but CVS) would server us
better. With git or even Subversion, we would report the tree version as
well as the timestamp.
