[ntp:questions] Page "Event messages and status words"

Hello all

I can't make sense of some codes explained in the page in subject.

In the system status word, the code is said to be stored in the last
four bits of the word, hence I'd expect to have up to 2^4codes, so 16.
Anyway, 17 codes are listed.

A similar thing holds for the peer status word: four bits for the code,
but it lists values from 01 to 10 hex: we correctly have 16 codes, but
the last one is out of range.

I am sure I am mistaken somewhere. Any hints?

Ciao
