Yes, although I have never checked all the boundary conditions
to make sure the kernel-pll is stable over the entire envelope.
I'm doing that for the NTPv4/nanokernel combo, and I'm resolving
the problems I find with Dave Mills.

I updated neither the manpage nor the code because of the above.

(-0.217546 - 0.207523) / (14 + 5 * 60 + 6) = -.001328340
Your clock is too sick, (or our calibration of it is hosed), no
version of {X}NTP will touch a clock which is outside +/- 500ppm.
Could you try to measure the 14.31818... MHz base frequency and
the 32768 kHz wristwatch xtal as well (I know you're RadioActive,
so I pressume you have a counter ?)
If they're both OK, then we have a code problem...
