Yes, I already attached to log file bits.  But, once again:

12-21T17:39:47 ntpd[7812]: PROTO: 0.0.0.0 0017 07 panic_stop +579076096 s; set c
lock manually within 1000 s.
12-21T17:39:47 ntpd[7812]: CLOCK: Panic: offset too big: 579076096.001

Ah, but did you also do the gpsd part?  That is ESSENTIAL to duplicate this
bug.

You need to do this to see the bug:

	killall -9 gpsd ntpd
	date 010101012134
	gpsd -n /dev/ttyAMA0
	cgps
    # verify GPS is reporting wrong epoch, e.g. 2134
    # verify ntp.conf has GPS as prefer
	ntpd -Ng
	ntpmon
    # ntpmon will crash in about one minute
    # check logs

Whoops, sorry, here is the right one:

cd ntpsec
./waf clean

./waf configure --refclock=all \
  && ./waf build  && \
./waf install

Probably, I suspect NTP Classic also has the bug.
