Alan,

I am not sure that the SLEWALWAYS code has ever been tested. (I
certainly didn't do so when I was hacking xntp to version 3.) On the
other hand, it does seem like it ``ought to'' work --- it's not that
complicated. 

It does seem that you need something like SLEWALWAYS, or perhaps a
variant that uses gettimeofday to get to the nearest second and leaves
the residue in sys_offset. Since it is you who needs the feature, it
is probably up to you to get it to work.
