So I've been testing this.  With the version like it was, on
a 2.6.22 kernel things broke.  In my cases it stayed with an
offset around 0.11 s, and the frequenty got set to 0 and stayed
that way.

Running with a patched version that detects the nano kernel
it behaves properly on both 2.6.22 and 2.6.26.  The 2.6.26
kernel also indicates that it runnig in nano mode.
