Note that openntpd does not call adjtimex(), but glibc wraps the
call adjtime() to adjtimex().
So modes is 0x8001 (32769):
#define ADJ_OFFSET_SINGLESHOT 0x8001 /* old-fashioned adjtime() */

That is because is it's syncrhonized, because it's using the
ADJ_OFFSET_SINGLESHOT. It doesn't mean there is an error.
Also note that on error it returns -1, and not 5.
