    See?  I asked the question, and I was told NTP and rdate use
different servers (musta read it too fast).  But whatever caused this on
your system, probably caused it on mine.  I, too, am in one of those
silly areas where we transition from CDT/CST.  But it's the first time
in almost a decade I've ever seen this message...
