i'm still trying (and failing) to solve a large-jitter problem.

in various troubleshooting, i've noticed the frequent appearance of
the number "3.906".

e.g., right at launch,

        Wed Oct 14 09:16:26 2009

        assID=0 status=c011 sync_alarm, sync_unspec, 1 event, event_restart,
        version="ntpd [email protected] Fri May  8 08:40:54 UTC 2009 (1)",
        processor="x86_64", system="Linux/2.6.27.29-0.1-default", leap=11,
        stratum=16, precision=-8, rootdelay=0.000, rootdispersion=0.000, peer=0,
        refid=INIT, reftime=00000000.00000000  Wed, Feb  6 2036 22:28:16.000,

and a couple of hours later,

        ...
        Wed Oct 14 11:48:14 2009

i'm guessing this is not coincidence ...

is it indicative of any problem?

thanks.
