Hi,

After upgrading to the latest kernel on Saturday my xntpd records a ~70ms
jump once or twice a day. My previous kernel from 7 Sept did not show the
same behaviour.

I have loopstat logging on in the ntp.conf file. Here is a piece of it when
the time jumped. Normally the value in the fifth column (which is the
frequency error in ppm) stays between 18 and 24 depending on the
temperature. The fourth column is the offset in seconds between the time
of the machine and what it should be.

Does anybody have an idea? Do we miss interrupts or something?
