[LinuxPPS] PPS stops working after a few seconds

Join the club.

This is another instance of the problem that Hal V. Engel and I discussed
about a month ago.  I have seen it (mainly) on startup, and Hal's suggestion
to start ntpd, stop it, then restart it, works.  It would be nice to know
what the problem is with linuxPPS that this works around, but it does 
consistantly start for me now.

You dont say if this is just after a reboot (and you never had ntpd running)
or if it just 'happened', but from the counts it looks like the latter.

I have seen this same behaviour of the counts increasing by one each time
I do something, and assume that it should be a clue as to what is wrong
with the code.

So, no solution, but welcome to the club.

[[ As I mentioned above, Hal's suggestion of starting ntpd (from init.d)
waiting 20sec, killing ntpd, then restarting ntpd works for me. ]]
