More information regarding the odd behavior I'm seeing. Turns out that packets do not even need to leave the machine for it to report large negative ping times, on the order of more than half a second. (See below.) Clearly something is odd about timekeeping in this system (SiS motherboard chipset, PII-generation Celeron but still effectively a "686") which was not a problem when it was running FreeBSD 4.11-RELEASE (as it was before). Any ideas?
