Okay, well I'd got so far from the initial, failing condition that I removed 
chrony altogether and then reinstalled it, leaving everything at its 
installation-default value.

Now if I run that strace command again, chronyd starts up just fine - but if 
I start it directly I get the "caught an interrupt" failure. Looks like a 
timing problem now.

This is the default chrony.conf:

pool pool.ntp.org iburst
driftfile /var/lib/chrony/drift
makestep 1.0 3
rtcsync

....and this is the one that works:

pool pool.ntp.org iburst
server ntp0.zen.co.uk iburst
server ntp1.zen.co.uk iburst
driftfile /var/lib/chrony/drift
makestep 1.0 3
allow 192.168.1/24
mailonchange prh@serv.prhnet 0.5
rtcfile /var/lib/chrony/rtc
rtconutc

This is repeatable now, and I do have CONFIG_LINUX=y in the kernel so that 
wasn't it. Do you want to suggest any other tests for me to run?
