no, it's not making an argument for a one-shot sync attempt in ntpd.
that's what "rdate -na" is for. ntpd is for those who care that their
clock remains close to an authoritative source of time.
synchronization isn't a one-time thing. it's an ongoing process. a
peecee isn't a terribly controlled environment - you have electrical
noise, temperature changes, processor loads, interrupts ... all of
which make it very difficult to keep time on a free-running clock.

GDB has a 'break' feature; why doesn't it have 'fix' too?
