Well, I feel dumb. After adding a couple more -d flags to ntpd, I got something about unable to lookup hostnames. I was using an old hpHosts /etc/hosts file (to block ads). I reverted it to the stock /etc/hosts file in the package filesystem, and ntp-4.2.7 runs without thrashing. I'm re-enabling Adblock Plus for now--until I get around to creating an updated hosts table. I'm still unsure why hostnames resolved for root, but not for the ntp user. Could the hosts file have been too large for ntpd (6.4 MB)? --Kyle
