FYI: I'm running a SMP system with xntp3-5.91 and do not suffer
from lockups. I see the message about kernel PLL change 89
(or similar) sometimes in the log, possibly when it regained
synchronization with the server. Since this system is not
heavily loaded (just used as a workstation and compile host),
this can make the difference though.
