"rlimit memlock 0" using Classic causes ntpd to died after 3 minutes with this 
error
2016-06-29T00:13:21.903+00:00 host.example.com ntpd[27206]: libgcc_s.so.1 must 
be installed for pthread_cancel to work

I've attached 15 minute graphs for "rlimit memlock -1" and "rlimit memlock 128" 
using Classic.  Locking memory seems to result in more stable graphs over the 
time period that I was able to collect quickly.


Cheers,
