This means that xntpd binaries compiled agains old kernels dumps core on startup. I'm told that version 3.4t has support for the latest linux, but I haven't tried it. Also, there is the problem that there would need to be _2_ xntp packages, one for old kernels, one for new kernels. Eugh!! Can anyone think of a better idea ?

When it is I'll make a new package and fix whatever problems come along. I did say this about 5 days ago to a similiar bug report.
