Kev, I've seen something similar under Windows - known good hardware with drift values from 10 to 100. Suddenly, NTP becomes confused, and sets the drift value to a an extreme (+/- 496, for example, I don't recall plus or minus), and cannot recover from it. You need to delete the drift file, or enter a near correct value. Of course, as Richard says, it could be a hardware issue, or it could be something in NTP. What happens if you delete the drift file and leave it for a few hours?
