The poll interval is 64 seconds.  ntpd sets the poll intervals of 
rejected sources to maxpoll.  They are being rejected because the jitter
appears too high, which is a result of the high time slew rate (frequency
error) causing different samples to vary greatly in offset.

This also raises the question of why the local clock was configured
in the first place.  If it had not been, ntpd would have correctly
detected that it was in a hopeless situation and would have reported
unsynchronised and eventually shut down.  In my view, most people shouldn't
configure the local clock, and those that do should have thought carefully
about it.
