Package: ntp-simple
Version: 1:4.2.0a+stable-8
Severity: normal

I'm running ntp-simple on two machines with dynamic IP addresses.
Yesterday, both machines had their DHCP lease renewed with a different
address, and the logs started showing these messages:

Jul  5 16:15:34 toroia ntpd[2439]: sendto(128.100.102.201): Invalid argument
Jul  5 16:28:01 toroia ntpd[2439]: sendto(132.246.168.164): Invalid argument
Jul  5 16:30:34 toroia ntpd[2439]: sendto(199.212.17.34): Invalid argument
Jul  5 16:32:41 toroia ntpd[2439]: sendto(128.100.102.201): Invalid argument

Jul  5 21:15:54 phentex ntpd[327]: sendto(217.114.97.97): Invalid argument


On a hunch, I restarted ntpd on toroia but not on phentex; it indeed
worked again on the former, and remained stalled on the latter.

Is it possible that ntpd might somehow override the source address of
the IP packets it's sending?  This sounds silly, but it would provide
for an explanation of this behavior.
