Thank you for the suggestions.  Unfortunately, I've been through all 
that, including the rude values of minpoll and maxpoll, using multiple 
servers, and starting with a fresh drift file.  I'm pretty sure ntpd 
isn't the problem.  In addition, the hardware clock itself appears to be 
plenty accurate, as it is always correct within a second or two when I 
check it directly in BIOS ... and two other 5.3-STABLE hosts on the same 
network, with the same ntpd configuration, but on different hardware, do 
not have this problem, which began when I updated (reinstalled) to 
5.3-STABLE from 5.2.
