I remember reading about clock drift, but not how to fix it.  That's
useful, thanks... :)

I didn't run it very long.  I just wanted to see how well it worked,
with view to setting up a "disaster recovery" image so that if our
Hobbit server crashed and burned I'd be able to fire up a copy
*really* quickly on any available hardware, such as my laptop.  Given
that the server is a single-733MHz-cpu DL380, I figured a VMWare
instance on a 2GHz laptop ought to be able to keep up fairly well. :)
