Missing log entries and clocksettinghour

I occasionally get the odd missing log entry (main data log - eg. Jun21log.txt). Its only the odd line maybe once a month or fewer. Its just a bit of a pain if I need to line up extracted readings against data from other systems that don't lose data.

It seems to almost always be the 04:10 reading (I log every 10 minutes). I can't find anything else that might cause this other than the entry clocksettinghour=4 setting in the cumulus.ini file. I wonder if the system setting the clock perhaps forwards, perhaps backwards at 04:00 cause a missed data log?

Has anyone else ever noticed anything like this?

Setting the console time seems to be a very expensive operation on the console. It becomes unresponsive for quite a long time. That is why CMX only sets the time if it is more than 30 seconds out.
