I finally rebuilt my NetBSD box after having lost the partition table on the disk. I installed 4.2.7-p236 again and everything seemed fine all day yesterday. Suddenly I get this:

This happened sometime late last night (I'll have to look at the peer and loop files to see when). No cron jobs fired off during this period, they had already run yesterday afternoon. Before this I had offsets for the remote servers in the few milliseconds range and an offset on the PPS signal of only a couple microseconds.

Anyone have any ideas? Note that the GPSD refclock is set as "noselect" currently. I'm trying to test the static navigation feature of the GPS to see if the time offsets calm down on that. PPS is supplied by the kernel itself.

I had problems when I tried 4.2.7-* recently so I backed out to
either 4.2.6p3 or p5. I was trying 4.2.7.p98 without problem and
also a slightly later version but 4.2.7p239 wasn't usable and I'm
not willing to experiment too much as it might affect my online
servers.

I don't use gpsd either.

Sure GPS (but no different from Garmin 18x-LVC).
NetBSD 5.1_stable, ntp-4.2.6p5

PPSb offset -0.001 jitter 0.003

but offset can increase to 30 usec during cron jobs at 02:00
and 03:00 but is then quickly back to < 5 us.
