Very interesting.  The list has been wondering if there were SHM drivers
other than gpsd.

I'm sure Eric would like to document what you are using.  Can you be more
specific?  Like is your SHM driver open source?

Very interesting.  Many people will reboot tonight.  :-)

ntpd does keep better stats than ntpq -p shows.  Look in the ntpd
log files.

BTW, are you seeing the sideral day oscillation?
