Still having trouble with pow5mul



I'm still having issues with ntpd hanging when it's attempting to do math that eventually involves __pow5mult_D2A. Here's a backtrace where it is now stuck in an infinite loop (CPU usage is high, the program hasn't bombed out yet):

#0  0x103b58a0 in __pow5mult_D2A () from /usr/lib/libc.so.12

I had some data logging within ntpd looking for a different problem (random overflows during long floating adds) but I don't think it's in the same area of the source code as the above backtrace. The data there doesn't look unusual.

I haven't seen this particular problem in quite a while. The main one I was seeing was the overflows on some of the internal counters. In this case it just gets to pow5mult and gets caught in an infinite loop.
