Which versions of ntpd are affected is exactly what we need to find out.
As I've mentioned earlier the reports I had heard were from some really
old versions of ntpd (4.2.0*). I don't think there are many pool servers
running such an old version of ntpd, so for me it sounds like this
problem still persists in relatively current versions of ntpd.
