After some discussion with Miroslav Lichvar I've found a chrony.conf that 
works for me on my 32-bit 2-core Atom. This is it:

pool pool.ntp.org iburst
server ntp0.zen.co.uk iburst
server ntp1.zen.co.uk iburst
driftfile /var/lib/chrony/drift
makestep 1.0 3
allow 192.168.1/24
mailonchange prh@serv.prhnet 0.5
rtcfile /var/lib/chrony/rtc
rtconutc

The installation-default file causes the start-stop-daemon to catch an 
unexpected interrupt and report an error, even though the chronyd process 
continues to run.

Any time I run 'strace -ff -o/tmp/chronyd.strace /etc/init.d/chronyd start' 
the init process runs normally and I'm left with scores of trace files, none 
of which help because the stray interrupt wasn't detected.

So I'm left with a setup that works for me but leaves what looks (to me) 
like a timing problem unsolved.

I'll report back if I hear any more.
