:While testing a clock synchronization software on DragonFly I observed a
:problem with the adjtime(2) system call. The retrieved olddelta values
:appeared to be quite incorrect, and the reason for this eventually turned
:out to be an elementary bug which can be fixed by the patch below. Please
:have a look at it, I'd think this case is pretty clear and needs no further
:description.

Nice catch! Your patch has been committed.
If you haven't played around with dntpd for client-side
synchronization yet, I recommend it. It doesn't implement the
server side, but for client side synchronization it does a far better
job than ntpd.
