I have the same problem, the time on my system is very unstable, i'm using a sid client on a sarge host under vmware gsx, i have installed ntp, and after that i get the errror message, the time is running very slow, after 10 minutes real time, my system only counts 5 minutes.

Rep:
VMWare doesn't give your guest OS a steady clock, so it can't work well with NTP. When NTP sees that your system is more than 10 sec out-of-sync, it figures something major and evil has happened and it terminates quietly.
