System clock fails to update after waking from sleep

I've noticed that my new PowerMac G5 Dual-Core 2GHz (running Mac OS X 10.4.3) doesn't update its system clock to the current time after waking from sleep.

When I put it to sleep and then wake it some time later, the Clock in the upper right-hand corner doesn't update to the current time. It still ticks on (second for second) but remains out of sync.

Opening the Date & Time preferences pane will restore the time to the correct setting.

This problem only occurs with sleep and then wake-from-sleep. It doesn't happen when I shut down the machine and then restart it.

Does anybody know if I've got a malfunctioning machine? It's only 1 day old...

Or better still, how do I solve this problem?
