Hi all,

I have been working on BUG#399 (
https://support.ntp.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=399)
A working level patch is submitted at NTP bugzilla.

I have been testing the patch with Accord GPS Clock and a consistent
observation
has been made as shown below (a slice of ntp.log)

At the transition to a new day, when the time rolls from 233539.9 to
000000.X,
ntpd reports the event 'clk_badtime' (0x06).

Is this behavior consistent with other GPS receivers ?
