Just to add another datum point, I've seen this happen on arm32 as well 
(my kernels are currently around about 1.5I).  I'd thought it might be 
port-specific, but I guess this means otherwise.

Oh, and it only seems to happen after the machine has been up a few days.

Maybe another clue is that when I had to restart ntpd they other day 
(changed configuration), it spent an inordinately long time hammering the 
disks for some unknown reason -- looked a bit like it was swapping.
