Neither hwclock nor the /dev/rtc driver takes the following comment from set_rtc_mmss() in arch/i386/kernel/time.c into account.
As a result, using hwclock --systohc or --adjust always leaves the Hardware Clock 500 ms ahead of the System Clock

By pure coincidence [email protected] sent me patches just one day ago. I still have to look at the details, but it seems very likely that this will be corrected in the next util-linux release.
