Package: openntpd
Version: 3.6.1p1-1
Severity: important

I'm running openntpd on a leaf machine syncing with the master ntp server
for the whole lan. The master server runs debian's ntp-server package of
ntp.org, version 1:4.2.0a+stable-2. 

When the master ntp server is stopped, the openntpd leaf machine's ntpd
process goes into what looks like an infinite loop. Here's a top
snapshot:

top - 19:16:04 up 15 days, 19:22,  2 users,  load average: 1.61, 1.22, 0.55

  PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND
 4835 ntpd      25   0  2804 1116  876 R 99.9  0.2  14:55.26 ntpd
15803 root      15   0  321m  55m 5068 S  6.3 11.3  17:33.24 XFree86

The last few entries in daemon.log are:

May  1 18:29:38 mudd ntpd[4834]: adjusting local clock by 0.231281s
May  1 19:01:24 mudd ntpd[4834]: adjusting local clock by 0.277772s
May  1 19:10:26 mudd ntpd[4835]: peer 216.27.161.17 now invalid

(216.27.161.17 is the master server).

If the master ntpd is brought back up, mudd's ntpd immediately drops
back out of its busyloop.

The leaf machine (mudd) is running a vanilla kernel.org kernel version
2.6.11.7 SMP.
