I'm having a slight problem with xntpd. I'm running NetBSD 1.0, and
did a 'build bsd44' of xntpd3.4j. Everything compiled fine, and ran
happily for a while.

The problem is that after a while, xntpd just stops keeping the time
correct. It'll work for a couple hours, maybe even a day or so, but
eventually it fails.

After this point the time drifts out of sync, and messages like the
last one are repeated at almost exactly 1 hour intervals. 

Does anyone else have xntpd working succesfully? Any ideas?
