kernel/dmesg misreporting clock speed of CPU

Hello,

First off, want to say thanks to all the people that make FreeBSD 
possible. Very nice operating system. :) Ok, now for the problem.

Been running FreeBSD 5-STABLE on my Dual Pentium Pro 200Mhz for many 
months now. However, yesterday I upped to 5.4-RC3, and noticed something 
changed during bootup.

This line:

CPU: Pentium Pro (145.59-MHz 686-class CPU)

Note that line says 145.59-Mhz, I have 200Mhz CPUs. As well, prior to 
upgrading to RC-3 that line would say 199.98Mhz. Not sure if that's a 
bug or not.

Here's my dmesg output, wasn't sure if this would be needed:
