If I'm reading the code correctly (for 4.2.7p270 at the moment), in
ntp_loopfilter.c at line 245 (or nearby for newer versions) I see:

if (fabs(fp_offset) > clock_panic && clock_panic > 0 && !allow_panic) {
       snprintf(tbuf, sizeof(tbuf),
          "%+.0f s; set clock manually within %.0f s.",
           fp_offset, clock_panic);
       report_event(EVNT_SYSFAULT, NULL, tbuf);
       return (-1);
}

I am assuming this is the segment of code that will cause ntpd to abort
entirely if the panic threshold (default 1000 s) is exceeded?
