> Feb 23 12:59:40 sardion xntpd[96]: Previous time adjustment didn't complete

   on a Sun SLC running SUNOS 4.1.1. and the only responses I received were
requests to forward any answers.  I have not, to date, received any
explanation of why this happened.
   Having an inquiring mind which wanted to know, I looked in the code.
The error message is printed when xntpd does one of its every-4-seconds
adjustments and then finds that not all of the previous adjustment had
been done yet.
   I talked to Sun and found out that an early version of SUNOS 4.1.1
had a bug in adjtime() which would not complete adjustments under
certain circumstances.  For me, it happened when one of the programs was
giving the system a run for the money.
   Anyway, the part number of my tape is 700-2687-10 Rev. A.  The next
revision should have the fix in it.  The bug number is 1036401, in case
anyone is interested.
   There you go, Maree and Derick and anyone else who might have been
interested.
