which program are you using ?
I don't see any such problems in 2.2.x (now 2.2.10) with same
configuration using xntpd (xntpd 3-5.93a) and my own small dcf programm. and it's even
a UART with FIFO:
# setserial -bg /dev/refclock-0
/dev/refclock-0 at 0x01a8 (irq = 5) is a 16550A (Fourport)
# stty < /dev/refclock-0
speed 50 baud; line = 0;
> The RAWDCF code in xntpd handles the port as raw (non-canonical mode)
> device, with 50 baud speed. The DCF-77 data format produces 1 pulse
> (long or short) every second, which read at the serial port nominally as
> '\0' or '\340' (the actual char may vary with the precise width of the
> pulse, but typically it is one of these chars).
