I think this is an issue:

- As stated, machines running 4.x don't seem to do it
- In addition to the mode schizophrenia, undex 5.3 I'm also seeing resets 
of several seconds which don't happen on identical hardware running 4.11 in 
the same rack. Yes I know the clock drifts will be different, but ntp.drift 
is very close on the two boxen.

I believe something's broken. More datapoints:

- I'm seeing it under 5.3R both on i386 and amd64 but not i386/4.11 on the 
same LAN
- I'm not seeing it on 5.1R on a remote system
