ok, I was mailing from a win95 system. My personal machine is still a 300 Mhz AMD K6-2
 :)
replicants or not, I sent mail to stable@freebsd.org and
freebsd-stable@freebsd.org, and neither one of them seemed to be transfered to the other subscribers.

ok
I have done the kernel conf changes, and rebuilt.
things seem to be ok.

I did this before I sent the original email. Everything seemed to work ok after I deleted my HZ change. 

I was actually looking for confirmation that "YES   your  change to the kernel HZ did cause your clock to race, and also caused (which I didnt mention) your NTPD not to work :)
.
