OK, my /etc/adjtime was last modified when I rebooted about a week ago,
and it looks like this (whitespace may not be copied accurately):

42022.480469 942149413 0.000000
942122060

There's no manual page for adjtime, so I don't know how to interpret the
file.

At the time that I looked at /etc/adjtime, it was about 6:28 am, or, in
Unix-time terms, about 942665320.
