I'd try re-installing your boot loader, or installing another one (Chameleon, Boot Think, or maybe even GRUB 2).

FWIW, the problem is caused by different assumptions by Windows and OS X about the hardware clock (which is distinct from a software clock that the OS maintains once it's booted). Both systems use...
