If you are seeing backward jumps on a running ntpd, something is VERY
wrong. Normally the only time you will see a jump in either direction
is when ntpd initializes. If you keep your server running 24x7 you
should not see jumps at any other time. Some Linux systems have been
reported to lose clock interrupts during periods of heavy disk activity
but this results in forward steps.
