That's progress, and tells me a lot. We need to see where ntpd is
stuck, I think that means either attaching gdb to the hung ntpd, or
starting it again under gdb and breaking into gdb once it hangs. I'm
relatively weak on gdb, but I believe if it's started under gdb, ^C
will break into a gdb> prompt.
Once in, use "bt" to get a stack trace that hopefully goes back to
ntpdmain (that is, is hopefully on the correct ntpd thread, and not
any secondary or gdb-created thread).
Cheers,
Dave Hart
