In the simple capture I have now, it gets all the way to the first
receive, but replay then fails to call adjtime() as expected from the
capture.

My current belief is that replay mode is not populating the peer
list correctly; I am instrumenting to check this.

The bad news is that I'm deep into trying to trace the behavior of difficult
code.  The good news is that this could be the last problem before I get
a first full replay.

Any time call that is in pure I/O is not captured, precisely in order
to avoid problems on replay.
