BTW, you might want to add these lines (from LINT) to your kernel
config if you haven't already:

#####################################################################
# POSIX P1003.1B
 
# Real time extensions added int the 1993 Posix
# P1003_1B: Infrastructure
# _KPOSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING: Build in _POSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING
# _KPOSIX_VERSION:             Version kernel is built for 

options         "P1003_1B" 
options         "_KPOSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING"
options         "_KPOSIX_VERSION=199309L" 

Current versions of ntpd use these features if they're available.  I
think "_KPOSIX_VERSION=199309L" is the default, so that one probably
isn't strictly necessary.

I'm sure we'll get there eventually.  Things move at a stately
pace in -stable. :-)
