+commit 0bb772c575b3842c38e6a58591ecea94449e9bae
+Author: Miroslav Lichvar <mlichvar@redhat.com>

+
+    Fix delta calculation with extreme frequency offsets
+    
+    This should prevent chronyd from getting stuck and refusing new samples
+    due to failing test4 when the current measured frequency offset is close
+    to 1.0. That can happen when the system clock is stepped forward behind
+    chronyd's back.
