Thanks for the report. It should be now fixed in git.

This would configure chrony as if it was kernel 2.0, probably not what
we want.

BTW, do we really need to support ancient kernels like 1.2? Dropping
support for kernels before 2.2 would simplify the code nicely, what do
you think?

Also, does anyone know how to detect if kernel is running in the
tickless mode?
