7.71 PHKL_4413 breaks xntp

I ran into this about three years ago running timed on 9.x systems.  The
PHKL_4413 patch is a patch that correct "hardware clock drift" if I
remember correctly.  What it did to my systems running timed was to start
massive clock drifting between a minute or two fast and a minute or two
slow, cycling so fast that the clock ran probably 50% fast for a few minutes
then 50% slow!  I assume there was some sort of interaction between what
timed was doing to correct the clock and what this patch did, and that
interaction may also affect ntp.

I remember this well since this is the only time I have ever had to back
out a patch on HP-UX, despite always just taking every patch there is when
I'm doing a system load.
