yes, indeed. But I wouldn't expect that frequent changes of as much as four
seconds? We could switch off NTP ... though I enjoy having timestamps identical
to my own box's time.

Yep. Wait, have I? Looking up cmdlines from the log:

osmo-trx -x
osmo-bts-trx -r 1 -c [...]

At least for osmo-bts-trx I have -r 1. Do I need to do the same for osmo-trx?
No, it does so by default, right?

It seems that these failures have become less frequent again, which could
indeed be related to NTP activity. I'll switch off NTP and see if these go away
completely.

Hmm, doesn't NTP log its clock corrections somewhere? Can't find any...

Thanks Vadim!
