ntp(date) and laptop during suspend



Greetings!
	I think I have finally managed to get Debian working correctly
with APM (suspend/resume features) on my IBM Thinkpad.   On boot up, my
laptop sets the time from a NTP server on the Internet using  
ntpdate.  However, after coming out of suspend mode, the time is always
behind by 5 hours.  This wouldn't be too much of a problem is the time was
all that was affected.  However, when I do an uptime this morning,
following the resume, it showed that my laptop had been up for about 20
hours.  I actually know for a fact that it has been up all weekend (since
Friday morning).  So, I am not really sure where my problem is, but it
seems that my clock management is going to hell when in suspend
mode.  Can anyone tell me what is happening here and how to prevent this?

Thanks,
Bryan Walton
