I would guess ntpd, which is part of why I use net-misc/openntpd
instead of regular ntpd (which I used to use).
The battery doesn't have to be bad, it just has to be making a poor
connection, so you might try taking it out and putting it back
in. This sometimes clears up other problems as well, by power-cycling
parts that don't normally get power-cycled. (I had to do it once after
a BIOS flash upgrade.)
