Huh?

Perhaps only when adjkerntz is running?  It is never running on
``serious'' machines. ;-)

Btw., there have been many problem reports about bogus adjkerntz
activities here in Germany yesterday.  (We had a DST switchover.)  I
can't tell you what exactly it has been (i don't use it myself, all my
CMOS clocks run UTC), but the pattern seems to be consistent among the
German users.  Ah, minute... that's from the de-freebsd lists:

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
