But that isn't meaningful.  The integer 1106464884 is not the same as
the string "Sun Jan 23 02:21:02 2005", though they refer to the same
time on my computer.  No integer is the same as any string.

Ah, so you want your clock to gradually go out of sync with the sun.
Then remove /etc/leapsecs.dat for the sake of libtai's conversion
functions, use a non-right time zone for the sake of localtime(), and
feed your clockspeed with taiclock instead of sntplock, so your clock
will count both leap and non-leap seconds even without
/etc/leapsecs.dat.
