Correct.  Thanks for correcting this bit of mis-information.  I was
mis-remembering the fact that by disabling PLL mode (with the ntp
"disable kernel" directive, I think) _and_ setting status bit #6,
I could keep the kernel out of "11 minute mode".  That was done a
couple of years ago on another machine and I was confusing the two
things.
