Oh, I'm quite sure it's hardware *related*, since the problem occurs
only when trying to stop ntpd and only when ntpd is using the
USB-connected GPS sensor as a hardware reference clock.  I was hoping
someone else might have encountered this or a similar problem before and
know how to fix, avoid, or work around it (other than by not using the
GPS refclock).
