I think you maybe solved the problem. On a hunch, just noticed that
rc.ntpd had 755 permissions, and indeed ps ax|grep ntp shows
    727 ?  Ss  0:00 /usr/sbin/ntpd -g -p /var/run/ntpd.pid
I must have inadvertantly told slackware's setup to run it
during install (which would also explain why previous releases
never exhibited the problem), and it's somehow been sporadically
messing stuff up ever since. Changed permissions (and kill'ed
this instance), so the problem's hopefully solved. No idea what,
exactly, ntpd might have been doing, but it'll hopefully stop now.
Thanks yet again,
