I will do so.  I get quite a few of them in the refclock configuration. 
  I get some with Internet only but not as many.  I'm going to let the 
current configuration run for a few more days and then provide those 
sys_fuzz messages.  Afterwards I'll switch the configuration and track 
it again.  The current configuration has both refclocks noselected, 
kernel discipline disabled, and five Internet sources.  There are no 
preferred peers or any other unusual configurations other than a minpoll 
6 on the Internet servers (left over configuration from the refclocks). 
  The polling period is moving so the clock selection is working.  Right 
now the polling period has set itself for 1024 seconds with an average 
offset of about 4ms.
