ntpd hangs under FBSD 8

Thanks for the patch. To be honest though, this issue has already cost us way too much time. We've got a workaround by either going with Python 2.5.1 or by running ntpd via the "at" command:

os.system("echo ntpd -g -q|at now")

If we running ntpd in this fashion it doesn't hang, more proof that the problem is related to Python's manipulation of the process signal mask. Running it through the "at" subsystem removes it from the Python process hierarchy. We'll likely go with this solution instead of downgrading Python and the related libraries.
