large system time change freezes hobbit client

Hi,

    I noticed that a large clock change tends to stop the hobbit client from sending status messages to the server. For example, if a system boots with the wrong time, I get cpu alerts, I go restart ntpd on it, then I won't get anymore status until I restart hobbit-client on that system...

    Is clientlaunch trying to keep track of the current time to determine when to launch hobbit-client.sh, instead of just sleeping 5 minutes ( default ) in between each invocations ?

Thanks
