This happened one time, the first time I ran ppsldisc.  The warning has 
not repeated.  Shortly after I started ppsldisc I ran ppstest, and it 
reported pulses arriving as expected.

Ntp did start at that time because I had not yet added a rule to udev to 
link gps0 to /dev/ttyS0.

I also run setserial on the serial device, but I hadn't transfered a copy 
to the machine at the time I was testing pps.  That means that most likely 
ppsldisc was the first thing that requested access to the serial port.
