Likely nothing. I would watch the memory consumption by ntpq for a hint of what is going on, or try it adding one or more -d options to the ntpq command line to see exactly what's happening. Hopefully with enough patience it will complete, but it is challenged on busy servers. One idea would be to allow interrupting the list retrieval with ^C and opt to display what's been retrieved, rather than continue to fight to get the complete list at a moment in time. It would also be useful to have some regular status output so you aren't led to believe nothing is happening when it's chugging along, perhaps showing the number of entries in the ntpq list. If you use the server-side filtering (such as mincount=3) you're much less likely to have any issues.
