+RTEMS and NTP
+
+The RTEMS startup routine waits until a time synchronization packet is
+received from an NTP server. This causes the RTEMS intialization to loop
+endlessly if there is no NTP server on the network.
+This problem has been fixed in the CVS version by allowing the initialization
+to time out after a minute or so and to set the IOC time to January 1, 2001.
