Thanks Patrick for the patch.
At first sight, the problem seems fixed.

However, in my use case, I can now see NTP request is sent 3 times instead
of one. Don¹t know if it is acceptable for you.
By the way, I will setup an automatic test to better check the resolution,
so if you want me to test other patches don¹t hesitate.

Thanks again.

Olivier
