So it's not actually doing a step, then, and "-x" is doing what it's
supposed to. What would otherwise be a step is carried out as
an adjtime() rather than as a settimeofday() (or equivalent),
despite the misleading message in the log.

The question remains, though, of why it needed a 1/2 second correction
in the first place. I think I'd look at your server for that answer.
