Sooo... Are the 6.x boxes that did not exhibit a problem yet still likely to have it if you start a threaded program or did it have to happen in the 1 second window?
As far as I know, it could still pop up. The futex handling in the kernel will be screwed up until the system reboots, or until the time is set using an API that wasn't affected by the bug. That's why one of the recommended fixes is just to:
date -s "`date`"
Dumb question, but I haven't followed this thread that closely - been busy at work - but why not $ service ntp stop $ ntpdate $ service ntp start ? mark
