For some reason, the system clock is reading the correct time, but the times indicated in Finder for "Date Modified" for every file or app are all wrong.

For example, at 11:45PM (as indicated by the clock in the menu bar) I installed OnyX for the first time, but when I look at the newly-installed app itself in the Applications folder in Finder, in the Date Modified column it says "Today 11:23PM". Also, various different apps and files have identical Date Modified times - several have 12:12PM, several have 8:08AM, and many have 4:16PM.

Two more confirmers that there's a problem - I just created a new folder at 12:09AM, and immediately went to look at it in the Finder - its Date Modified is "Today 12:00AM". And when I start up Plex, its own on-screen clock says "12:00AM" when the clock in the menu bar says 12:10AM.

I've zapped the PRAM and forced a Spotlight reindex, but they've made no difference. Any suggestions? I'm running 10.5.8.
