Package: openntpd
Version: 20080406p-4
Severity: normal

Starting Openntpd with a large delta to the real time causes glibc adjtime to
return with an error. I get these log messages:

ntpd[6071]: adjusting local clock by 201060.984298s
ntpd[6071]: adjtime failed: Invalid argument

Apparently adjtime in OpenBSD libc allows arbitrary intervals (it does not
return EINVAL), while glibc restricts the delta to +-2145 seconds.

Openntpd should be patched to work correctly with large time deltas in
glibc systems, that is in Debian.
