That was me, amongst others.  There are threads on security@ and questions at .

There were two problems reported:

1) ntpdc and ntpq would crash -- this was reported for 9.3-STABLE -- I
don't think it affected other releases, and was diagnosed as due to a
pthreads linking issue.  Solved for 9.x in r290044 and r290046

2) ntpd SEGV's on startup on 10.2-RELEASE-p6 (possibly others).
Curiously, so does net/ntp from ports, but only on the second startup.
Exactly the same ntp package seems to run and restart just fine on
recent 10-STABLE though.  As does the base system ntpd.

	Cheers,

	Matthew
