Kiran,

I say yet once again, the event reporting is specific to the particular 
verision. The version you cite preceeds the development version, so the 
web documentation does not apply to you. I say for the third time you 
may find help in your specific version using the comments in the 
libntp/statestr.c file. Some event conditions have been changed to more 
accurately reflect the behavior of the program. These have been 
carefully reported in the program documenation, and decode.html page.
