I've installed a dev snapshot of ntpd on a FreeBSD 4.11 box, and noticed
some odd behavior, when I start the process, I get two processes listed. I
can kill the second process and NTP seems fine, kill the first, they both
die. Leave them both running and my time keeping drifts terribly, with a
pps adjustment rate twice what it normally settles at.

This is occuring on two separate FreeBSD boxen, both built from the same dev
snap. Should I just try a later dev snap or did I badly misconf something?
