I've noticed this for a while now, but I have to know: what's with fallen london blanking about at the turn of the hour?
-- Chrona Trigger: An academic adventurer, who is rather a large fan of masks, and is desperately curious about the many secrets of the neath. Except the one that isn't spoken of.
Arsene, Pillager of Twilight, The masked, magnanimous, and charming master thief, who will give and take as pleases him. Surprisingly steadfast for such a fickle fellow.

Has been happening to me for about a year. I've just assumed it's some sort of automatic update or maintenance process.

Holy crap, that's a nice find! I never thought to look at the time when things went bad. I'm guessing it's some sort of hourly script that nobody realised was wreaking havoc.
That, or someone in the code somewhere does something evil with the number of minutes in a critical section of the code - say, divide by them.

It's been happening to me for a while now. I always assumed it was a synchronisation thingy, implemented back when the timer used to get completely off the rails. Even today the timer is not always absolutely correct, but it's usually just a few seconds. I'm not sure if the connection I'm drawing here is correct but it seems plausible to me...
