The Win2000 w32time does perhaps not do continuous discipline, but
sometimes after a poll it does the following, which indeed flatens the
sawtooth:

| Jan  5 14:54:55 fortknox w32time: N/A: The Time service synced time from time source (KASSAD) .
| Jan  5 14:54:55 fortknox w32time: N/A: Time set (offset < .5 second)
| Jan  5 14:54:55 fortknox w32time: N/A: Changing TimeAdjustment from default increment (to compensate for skew)
