Indeed, I tried using the tinker value in order to try and lock the
drift frequency. It didn't work. I *did* read the doc, but I don't
remember any dire warnings as David Mills says there are. It was over
a year ago when I tried it, so the documentation could easily have
changed and/or I could easily have forgotten stuff.
