Bug#466754: linux-image-2.6.24-1-amd64: AMD64 Dual-Core clock skew of 2.5%

[Moshe Yudkowsky <moshe@pobox.com>]

I have discovered that /etc/default/adjtimex contained a TICK value of 
9750, which exactly accounts for the 2.5% loss of time exactly.

I continue to investigate how the file obtained this value -- an error 
in either the ntp or the adjtimex packages comes to mind -- but this bug 
can be closed.

I highly recommend that anyone who is investigating clock skew use the 
README and tools available with ntpclient, 
<http://doolittle.icarus.com/ntpclient/>.
