I'd like to set the time on a VxWorks board when ntpd is started.  I'm using
Bob Herlien's port of NTP to VxWorks.  WAYTOOBIG (in ntp.h) is set to 1000.0
seconds.  NTP simply gives up on trying to correct the clock if the offset
from its peers is over this;  that's the condition at the boot of the board.

I don't want to rely on the system TOD clock to set the time when the board
boots as its resolution is only 1 second (well below our requirements). Well
be connected directly to a stratum 1 server (with a WWVB receiver), so I'd
like to use its time to set the VxWorks board's time.

If I set the time by hand (or other means) with setgmt, it takes NTP quite
a while to say that the 4 second (as an example) offset should be corrected
with one big correction.  This also is unaccepatable, since the VxWorks
board would not be useful until it's time was as close to UTC (or TAI) as
possible (we're working on a DA system for a telescope and need to associate
position and time with a particular CCD line when drift scanning).
