Have you noticed the value of Offset shown above? It's telling you that
your clock is off by a HUGE amount! The jitter value also looks a
little high.
I'd try setting the clock from my wristwatch, using ntpdate (I DON'T
CARE THAT IT'S DEPRECATED, IT GETS THE JOB DONE!), or ntpd -g. I think
that offset exceeds the "panic threshold" by a goodly amount!
