[LinuxPPS] linuxpps 2.6.32-rc8 question

I have my PowerPC 85xx target connected to a GPS receiver that is 
generating a PPS which is in turn generating an interrupt on my host.

I am trying to figure out why my system clock is showing such a large 
discrepancy in time (10ms/s) and was wondering if anybody had any tips 
on tracking this down.

Does everybody runs this in a calibration mode to determine the drift of 
the local clock and then use adjtimex() to fix the offset?  The error is 
  so large that NTPD won't use it as a reference source.
