Time wrong in log

I have several router which work fine, but I have one router which the log entries are 1 hour earler than the time on the router. Here is a print out to prove.

[admin@hypewifi0008] system clock> /log pr                                     
dec/31/1999 18:00:34 dhcp,info,debug dhcp-client on ether1 got IP address

[admin@hypewifi0008] system clock>

As you can see above, it is a rb532 (since it cant keep time after reboot) and when the ntp update has finished, the time is updated in the next log entries. Then I do a print of the system clock, and you see the correct time in the router is actually one hour later than the log entry for a few seconds earlier.

The router is using 2.9.18, as are several other routers which are identically configured and do not have this problem. Should I just try reloading the code and reconfiguring from scratch... Has anybody had probems like this?

BTW: after about 10 minutes, it looks like the router started reporting logs with the correct time....

dec/31/1999 18:00:34 dhcp,info,debug dhcp-client on ether1 got IP address      
    192.168.1.100                                                              
dec/31/1999 18:00:34 system,info dns changed                                   
13:42:38 system,info,account user admin logged in from 192.168.1.103 via ssh   
13:44:01 system,info new script scheduled by admin                             
......... "10 minutes later"
14:54:17 script,info Router IP Update hypewifi0008 10.100.8.1/24

Any idea why it took 10 minutes before it started showing the correct time in the log entries? Why would it take more time for NTP to update the time for logging purposes?
