Folks,

I discovered that the power management features are what cause the time errors 
on my 586 machine. In my case the system was actually not able to cope. The 
BIOS design may have been energy star compliant, but the motherboard designer 
must have used the system clock to tick the timer chip while the system was 
powered up (oops!).

Anyway turning off clock power management or turning it off all together cured 
that. It runs fine under DOS because power management is generally disabled 
then.
