The obvious guess would be that \032 is the encoding of a space character,
so someone somehow called for server "server 0.oceania.pool.ntp.org".
That would be a nonstandard representation of binary characters.
Normally, 032 means "octal 32" and the character would be ^Z (ctrl-Z).
In this notation, a space is \040.  A space is 32 in decimal.

But maybe there is a bug in the program that writes those logs. A space is of
course much more likely.
