Thanks!
Still testing but seems to be working just fine.

Running on the same hardware, with this git version of chronyd program,
the frequency error in chrony.drift stabilizes at about -4ppm.
With ver 1.24, the error value is 27ppm. It doesn't seem to be right. (?)
The drift rate depends both on the crystal frequency AND on the clock
calibration done by Linus at bootup. Until the latest kernels the
calibration
was all over the map, and the clock rate could change by 50PPM between two
bootups. You do not tell us if there was a reboot between the two versions
of
chrony. Nor do you tell us which kernel you are running (not even which
operating system)
It could of course also be a bug in chrony. Pls run the different versions
on
the same system without rebooting it.
After reboot, before running chronyd, the adjtimex command shows the same
result.
/ # adjtimex
mode: 0
-o offset: 0
-f frequency: 0
maxerror: 16384000
esterror: 16384000
status: 64 (UNSYNC)
-p timeconstant: 2
precision: 1
tolerance: 33554432
-t tick: 10000
time.tv_sec: 1274131047
time.tv_usec: 836776
return value: 5 (clock not synchronized)
And than the drift depends on which version of the chrony I will use. I
always
start with the same chrony.drift file:
/ # cat /etc/chrony.drift
27.5596 1.5206
