Hi Camaleón! A bit of NTP history:
That issue has been argued on the NTP developer mailing lists.
Crashing the daemon is Dave Mills' way of telling the admin that
something is badly broken here and needs to be fixed. Several
developers (myself included) disagreed with him at the time, but he
was adamant on the subject. So that's the way it is.
