erlang:now/0 off by over 90 seconds

[Garrett Smith]

I'm getting this:

1> {calendar:now_to_local_time(erlang:now()), erlang:localtime()}.
{{{2010,7,11},{23,36,54}},{{2010,7,11},{23,35,20}}}

erlang:now() is giving a result that's ~90 seconds in the future
(according to the OS clock - e.g. `date`)

I'm running VMWare and `hwclock` gives a "Cannot access the Hardware
Clock via any known method."

The docs state that "some other method" may be used to calculate the
now value if the OS doesn't support epoch time reporting.

Any thoughts on this?
