Re: Reopening this bug
Regarding NTP, and the speedup problem reported in bug 56822.

Aha. Smoking gun. I don't know exactly what the issue is/was, but a while
back (first of the year or so) I spent an evening on IRC with someone figuring
out that the problem was something about the compiler, maybe an optimizer
problem, I really don't recall, when the package was built for alpha by the
auto-builder. They built a version that worked, and uploaded it... my guess
is that my uploading a new version triggered the same but in the auto
builders? Sorry, I don't remember who was helping chase this, it's been a
while.
Can you try recompiling from the source package on your system and seeing if
the problem persists? I'll CC debian-alpha on this in case someone else wants
to jump in with some insight.
I'm on my way out of town (to Toronto) for the weekend, but will be happy to
help chase this down starting Monday night, if need be.
