And I would add that we have found that prior to every freeze that our
systems have experienced under 2.0.33, we find a syslog message from xntpd
as follows:
Feb 11 09:18:46 acme xntpd[151]: kernel pll status change 89
These messages do not occur immediately prior to the crash, but we have
theorized that this status change is a precursor to the lockup and the
number of lockups that we have seen has been greatly reduced since we
stopped using xntpd and started using ntpdate with the -b option in a
cron job to sync the clocks.
