Yes, but that shouldn't make a difference. NTP can slow down or speed up
the clock, but it should never make it go backwards. Especially for a
monotonic clock (as the name suggests).
It looks like if ntp_adj held a big negative number you might end
up with a smaller output . ntp_adj is signed too .. I don't know how
ntp_adj is set though .
I thought I remember George Anzinger speculating that ntp could
cause the time to backwards , that's why I brought it up. Maybe if he's
read he can clue us in ..
