[ntp:questions] Server with ref-clock stuck at Orphan Stratum

I recently added my Soekris (with the CHU ref-clock), named "ntp0" to
my orphan pool. At first ntp0 was synced to CHU and the other orphans
dropped off ntp0's peer billboard. Then, this morning, the CHU refclock
was deselected (due to reception problems) and the other orphan pool
members were once again visible on the ntp0 peer billboard.

Later in the day the reception conditions improved and CHU was once
again selected as the sys.peer on ntp0. The problem is that ntp0 is
stuck at the orphan stratum so all of the other systems in my orphan
pool are still in orphan mode.

ntpq -pcrv ntp0
