System Dropping time After rdate

[Warren Liddell]

Im running FreeBSD 5.2.1.Alpha on a Digital 2100 2x 512meg RAM and 2x 190mhz   
CPU .  After we run rdate and then open top and watch the system time to the 
machine it recieved it's time for .. the server machine was taking 3seconds 
to go up in time by 1second .. i.e. for every 1seond on the server 3seconds 
has passed on the machine the server got the date/time from.  

Is this software error side or something else going funky ?
