No. In principle there should be no large clock shifts from NTP except when
your machine is booting. If NTP does shift the clock more than 5 minutes (if
I remember the code correctly) this could trigger the problem, which is a
Bacula issue.

Given the fact that putting a laptop to sleep seemed to trigger the problem
(i.e. Bacula noticed the clock shift and took corrective action but fell into
a bug) I would guess that sleeping laptops and clock shifts go together.
Large clock shifts (more than a few milliseconds) can always be "fatal" or
disruptive to user programs, especially programs such as Bacula that have
schedulers ...
With the patch Bacula *should* be more or less resistant to clock shifts.
