  Maybe you found the cause ;-)

  Maybe I could add that the TSC is pretty much an x86 thingy and even
on x86 platforms there are lots of issues with unsynched TSC.

  I think this test could be removed completely from the LTP, but I'll
let more knowledgeable than me people speak up on this topic.
