What config error causes chrony to die? The config file is parsed

Should chrony abort if there are any?
This does it:
rtconutc
rtcsync
Also, these logs from something which died on startup (I'm messing with my
kernel clock delay calculation)

Well, that should generate a fatal error, since chrony cannot correct it,
because the kernel clock cannot be adjusted that much. Ie, chrony is useless
in that situation and should die.
That is not a config error. It is a "hardware" error-- the clock is
irredemably broken. (Fortunately it was just your kernel config that broke it
so you could recover, but chrony could not)
