[ntp:questions] Panic threshold code

If I'm reading the code correctly (for 4.2.7p270 at the moment), in
ntp_loopfilter.c at line 245 (or nearby for newer versions) I see:
if (fabs(fp_offset) > clock_panic && clock_panic > 0 && !allow_panic) {
snprintf(tbuf, sizeof(tbuf),
"%+.0f s; set clock manually within %.0f s.",
fp_offset, clock_panic);
report_event(EVNT_SYSFAULT, NULL, tbuf);
return (-1);
}
I am assuming this is the segment of code that will cause ntpd to abort
entirely if the panic threshold (default 1000 s) is exceeded?
