As expected, it crashed again.  The interesting thing is that the constant

That's progress, and tells me a lot.  We need to see where ntpd is
stuck, I think that means either attaching gdb to the hung ntpd, or
starting it again under gdb and breaking into gdb once it hangs.  I'm
relatively weak on gdb, but I believe if it's started under gdb, ^C
will break into a gdb>  prompt.

Once in, use "bt" to get a stack trace that hopefully goes back to
ntpdmain (that is, is hopefully on the correct ntpd thread, and not
any secondary or gdb-created thread).

First attempt with gdb and a back trace after attaching gdb to the hung process (note this particular running of ntpd was not using the debug command line options):
