dmesg is attached.  Some of the garbage at the top of dmesg is from 2
kernels ago, 15 Nov., when I was running SMP and had silo overflows.

Both timecounters are listed in dmesg:
...
Timecounter "i8254"  frequency 1193026 Hz
Timecounter "TSC"  frequency 121329898 Hz
...

I have 
    options CLK_USE_I8254_CALIBRATION
in my config.

Some recent output from ntpdate log: (I changed the server from
140.142.16.34 to xxxx).

...
18 Nov 16:29:41 ntpdate[10276]: step time server xxxx offset -443.428520 sec
18 Nov 20:29:41 ntpdate[10463]: step time server xxxx offset -443.462177 sec
19 Nov 00:29:41 ntpdate[10799]: step time server xxxx offset -443.474425 sec
19 Nov 04:29:42 ntpdate[11305]: step time server xxxx offset -443.515112 sec
19 Nov 08:29:41 ntpdate[11536]: step time server xxxx offset -443.437881 sec
19 Nov 12:29:42 ntpdate[11855]: step time server xxxx offset -443.461982 sec
19 Nov 16:29:41 ntpdate[12378]: step time server xxxx offset -443.430663 sec

The step has a high std. dev.  I see values of 115 to 2900 sec over
the past few days.  The machine was up for 3 days, 10 hours, before
rebooting an hour ago.
