I didn't see you saying that you modified the servers lines, and I knew that 
Debian by default had only 1 pool server + local clock - didn't match your 
posting.   I didn't look further at the moment.

I guess we agree fully that ntpd should never behave as it apparently does 
for you - default config file or not.

There are no ntpd hackers on this mailing list that I know of, so your best 
bet is move this issue over to the comp.protocols.time.ntp newsgroup (or 
the mailing list gated to it, the name of which I never can remember...)

And of course it may be prudent to file a bug report against Debian's ntp 
package if it is not there already. (Dunno how much you know about Debian:  
see http://bugs.debian.org/ntp-server, and best use the 'reportbug' tool to 
report the bug - you may have to install it first.)

P.S.: just curious: what kind of question mark did you use in the subject 
line? '‽' - some weird unicode character...
