So I tried to run this:

triton:~/tip/tools/testing/selftests/timers> ./adjtick 
systick: 10000
Estimating tick (act: 9000 usec, -100000 ppm): 10000 usec, 1 ppmWARNING: Unexpected adjtimex return values, make sure ntpd is not running. triton:~/tip/tools/testing/selftests/timers> 

note the weird placement of the warning, and there's also no newline at the end.

It would also be nice to print out roughly how long the test will take - since it 
runs longer than 1-2 seconds.

Thanks,

	Ingo
