>Description:

Ntpd does not run anymore on sparc64 machines. It seems to die after receiving
the first answer to a name lookup for a peer from /etc/ntp.conf:

   366 ntpd     CALL  recvfrom(8,0x316000,0x10000,0,0xfffffffffffeb0c0,0xfffffffffffeb0ac)
   366 ntpd     GIO   fd 8 read 115 bytes

   366 ntpd     PSIG  SIGSEGV SIG_DFL
   366 ntpd     NAMI  "ntpd.core"


>How-To-Repeat:

Just try to run ntpd on sparc64.
