[LinuxPPS] ntp-dev-4.2.5p237-RC does sync with PPS for me

Well, after a number of hours, the development version of ntpd rejects 
both the PPS and the NMEA clock drivers, and syncs instead with another 
machine.  It seems that the clock drivers "see" the PPS signal, and that 
the NMEA driver receives the NMEA sentence, which it logs to the stats 
file. 

At the moment I am at a loss, and am obviously missing something.  
Looks like it is time to think about it for a while :)
