If you start ntpd with -s, it will _set_ the time once before
reverting to the default _adjusting_ behaviour, but only if
the time is off _more_ than SETTIME_MIN_OFFSET seconds, i.e.
three minutes. So if your drift is "very high", it doesn't
matter.
The patch was intended to force setting the time once if -s
was used, but since it was not in the patches/ directory,
it wasn't applied anyway. For "very low" drifts, using the
standard adjtime() behaviour is "better" anyway, because
then you don't have jumps in the time scale.
