Ok, I suppose one of these functions may change the LDISC. Can you
please verify the current LDISC when the system is not functional?

LinuxPPS is 18.

If so I suppose this code may help us in solving our LDISC problem. We
only have to find a suitable mode to tell NTPD to set N_PPS ldisc
instead of the wrong one...

Ciao,

Rodolfo
