I actually don't know why... but we have too much actors in this
scene, we should try each part alone.

If you don't use NTPD, can you see PPS signal arrive each time you
create the PPS source?

Another suggestion: as bluetooth devices do, try keeping ppsldisc
alive until NTPD runs. You can copy the relevant code from your
/etc/init.d/bluetooth init script when it manages the hciattach
command.

Let me know,

Rodolfo
