[ntp:questions] NTPd is not sync for some poll interval values

I have a problem where the NTPd would not sync the time with the
timeserver (10.0.0.1) if minpoll value is 7 and maxpoll is 8. It works
if the minpoll is 4 maxpoll is 5. Can anybody please help me out in
identifying what the problem could be? The "flash" never becomes
"0" I think. Also another host on the same subnet sync with the same
poll values and with the same server (10.0.0.1).
Any help is much appreciated. Debug output is attached below.
Thanks.
