I think that this one is closely related to bug #715 and may even be the same
bug. The thing I notice from the debug output is that the reconfigure code seems
to be calling findlocalinterface which finds the localhost or falls back to the
wildcard address, both of which are wrong. The only time you need to call
findlocalinterface is when you are checking which interface address needs to be
used to send a packet. A good example of this is the following from the attachment:
Finding interface for addr 2001:618:400::2061:2812 in list of addresses
findlocalinterface: kernel maps 2001:618:400::2061:2812 to ::1

If you look at the config for sit1 above you will see that this is one of the
IPv6 addresses of the sit1 interface and the code should never be calling
findlocalinterface when it is itself a local interface.

Frank, I've assigned this to you to look at. Mike tested ntp 4.2.2p4-RC4 and it
worked correctly so it's in something that changed with the dynamic code.
