I'm running ntpd, so can't confirm or deny your observations (on a side
note, ntpq -p returned "No association ID's returned", but after ntpd
restart everything seems fine; maybe it has something to do with rc
scripts starting ntpd earlier than wicd network manager?  Still the
offset was about 0.2 seconds).  I'm using vanilla 2.6.27.10 kernel with
thinkpad-acpi (0.21-20081111) ant tp-smapi (0.40) patches.

This is not a stock Slackware kernel, right?  So, something wrong with
configuration, perhaps?
