A lot of software has problems when the time jumps, especially if the
time jumps backwards. As you can see in your log also LIRCD complains:

Conclusion:
Never ever let your clock jump. The only acceptable jump is at bootup
time when no daemons are running yet and the time is initally set.

Find the reason for the time jump and eliminate it (do you run ntpdate
from cron? bad idea)

Cheers,
Juri
