[time-nuts] Trimble Mini-T Timing Glitches

Historical: Ancient (as in Trimble SVeeSix - 20 or more years ago) Trimble
GPS units would have their PPS timing output offset by several milliseconds
when they lost a sufficient number of satellites to maintain a 4D solution.

The PPS offset would jump back and forth by a large step (I recall six
milliseconds) when tracking was borderline.

I do not expect anything modern to have problems like this.
