Frank,

    thanks. I can obviously rule out a hand or a body in proximity of the GPSDO,
as when that happened I was alone in the house and moreover the door was locked.

I would tend to consider it some sort of glitch either in the firmware or in the
temperature sensor. I would be curious to know if somebody else has ever observed
in his Thunderbolt a similar phenomenon.
