I don't know if this will change anything else, but all I've read says
that this value is too high for a free-running system clock. You may try
"adjtimex -T 0" followed by "adjtimex -c" again, to see if it brings the
system clock within reason. I don't expect it to, but I really don't
know very much about the internal workings of the sys clock.

Everything else is quite OK here.

Just so there is no confusion here, without the "-i" parameter, these
measurements are taken every 10 seconds of system time, and the error is
calculated accordingly. Thus: error = (3.56547 - 1.782604)/10 =
0.1782866, or 178268.8 ppm

This is very good, one of the best hardware clocks I've ever seen.
However, it does make me wonder if you are running an over-clocked system.
