Slow clock

Has anybody else had trouble with the clock on their Chronos drifting 
really badly? Mine's losing about a second every two minutes at the 
moment. Unfortunately, it looks like the right way to correct this would 
be to modify timer.c, but I can't do that without the full compiler 
license.

For reference, mine gains about a second a day, when not being messed with.

I seem to recall reading elsewhere of others with a similar problem to yours 
and TI was replacing the watch for them. Probably worth asking.

Thanks for the suggestion! I didn't realize TI was supporting these things
so well. What a deal.
