My nx6125 with F.11 BIOS does something very similar but only in VTY
mode - I don't see the time jump when running X (and I haven't tried
measuring the jump to that accuracy).  Sometimes I see a time jump
when switching between VTY and X.  Other than that, ntpd is quite
happy with ACPI-fast.

an MTA that is either RFC2821-compliant or matches their claimed behaviour.
