You've almost assuredly come across some kind of internal race
condition, albeit one I've not seen before. We've refactored all of
this code in 0.25 (thankfully), but the 0.24 code paths for getting
checksum and content information around was, um, horrible.
The confusing thing is why you're getting this on some hosts but not
others. Maybe try removing or editing the state file, to remove the
stored info about the ntp.conf?
