Thanks for your help Joe.

What about trying to answer yourself to these questions ?

You can have a valid patch that uncover a bug in an application, it
happens everyday.

So if you want to help, grab ntpd sources, reproduce the problem, make a
bisection so that we have a clue of the kernel change that trigger the
problem, and so on...

That would be really awesome, given Jan is not a kernel developer, we
cannot really ask him to do this himself.
