That usually means you are out of memory, not total memory, but memory
allocated to ntpd which has locked itself into memory.

Do you have "rlimit memlock 0" in your ntp.conf?
If not, that might be worth a try.

The only thing I see in ChangeLog is an update for bug 2817 which is in that
area.

This sounds like the memlock bug:

Can you try to add

rlimit memlock 0

to ntp.conf and see if it works then?

===================================

Thanks, Hal and Martin.

That's worked round the bug for the moment.
