Its not only an ls problem, using ntpdate for an example to sync my clock is also resetting it to the zero.

Though I am not sure, but here is what I think: some files used 32_bTT and have been updated to use 64_bTT instead. These files lack the ability to detect my installation type (32 or 64) and they preassume that 64 is the default during the makeworld phase.

Rebooting to the old kernel solves everything, ls shows correct time-stamps and ntpdate syncs to the right time.

My last system upgrade was in Mon Jan 12 09:04:03 EET 2004.
