[olug] vmware guest system clock speed problem

Hey VMWare Experts --

I'm seeing some pretty wacky behavior with a VMWare guest OS -- the  
system clock is running at something like 3x realtime.  The host is  
running Ubuntu 6.06 and the current version of VMWare Server Beta,  
and the guest is FreeBSD 6.1.

I do an ntpdate command, pause only for a moment, and do it again,  
and it already reports a time shift of multiple seconds.

Anyone familiar with this phenomena?  Any easy way to remedy the  
situation?

Thanks...
