Pearly was the one that pointed out the problem.  He has had to take
his own clock timestamp when he receives the TPV message.  That, of
course, is giving him pretty aweful data.

But I guess your take home from this is that the GPSD_JSON is a mess
right now, and not gonna get resolved soon, so you should just leave 
that driver as it has been (broken) and ship the next ntpd.
