Has anyone else experienced a problem with ntpd crashing very early in startup? It looks like a memory corruption issue, or at least the stack is usually corrupt by the time the core file gets written.
Frustratingly, I cannot reproduce the problem when the "-n" flag is given to ntpd. Setting MALLOC_OPTIONS to "ADJ" also seems to have a beneficial effect, although not for long, but enabling ElectricFence does not make any difference nor does it report any errors. The platform here is FreeBSD/amd64 9.1 with both net/ntp (4.2.6p5) and net/ntp-devel (4.2.7p364) ports. -GAWollman -- Garrett A.
