Getting around towards doing so, I note that this file is from a vendor
tree, and the bug is still present in
https://github.com/ntp-project/ntp/blob/master/sntp/sntp.mdoc.in .
Unfortunately, http://bugs.ntp.org/enter_bug.cgi wants me to create a
login; adding cy and delphij to see if either of them already have one and
would be able to report the bug upstream.

My understanding is that now that we're in subversion intsead of CVS,
applying a local patch to a file from the vendor tree is not a huge
burden, but I'm inclined to wait a bit to add a local patch so we can see
how responsive upstream is.

Sorry about the (further) delay...
