Hello,
I've encountered a problem that seems to throw cron for a loop:
hwclock is saving the UTC time, but restoring it as if it were localtime.

I determined this by setting the date manually, then running:
for d in stop start; do date; hwclock -r; service hwclock $d; date; hwclock -r; done
The status changes as follows:

-manual localtime
-real UTC hwclock
hwclock stop
-manual localtime
-manual UTC hwclock
hwclock start
-localtime = manual UTC hwclock, but with the right timezone reported.

I'm not sure if this is a bug in the init script or in busybox.
What would be a good way to check that?

Thanks,
Isaac Dunham
