If the commandline at http://time.qnan.org/ for shmpps really configures
for low-to-high (i.e.: rising edge) then why do I see -180+ ms offset
for my Garmin GPS 18 with rising edge configured?

i.e.:
server 127.127.20.0 prefer
fudge 127.127.20.0 flag3 1 flag2 0 time1 0.000


flag2 is 0 and there is no time offset compensation.
I see stuff like:

     remote           refid      st t when poll reach   delay   offset
jitter
==============================================================================
 127.127.1.0     LOCAL(0)        10 l   45   64  377    0.000    0.000

(cut)

This makes me wonder. It also makes me think that ntpd still triggers on
an edge that is allmost 200 ms off, the width of the pulse that I
configured.
So what is the correct way to tell ntpd what's going on?
Is there some peculiarity going on?
Or am I missing something obvious?
