Status 2001 means that phase-locked-loop operation has been enabled, 6001 
means frequency-locked-loop has been enabled. As I understand it, ntpd 
switches to FLL mode, if it dedects large phase or frequency errors (there is 
a much better description in src/contrib/ntp/ntpd/ntp_loopfilter.c) 
The Status codes are listed in timex.h. 

There is also an easier way than searching timex.h :)
