I am having stability problems with the newly-released 4.2.2 which I am presently unable to be sufficiently specific about to be able to open a bug report. I am therefore seeking guidance on how to document this problem.

I have found it necessary to drop and re-establish the PPP session to my ISP on a nightly basis. I subsequently have a script issue ntpdc unconfig/addserver pairs so that I don't have to restart ntpd (I have a local and a refclock). Since switching to 4.2.2, more often than not, I find (when I wake up the following morning) that the associations that were created by means of the above-mentioned addserver commands are all in the .INIT. state (as shown by ntpq). I believe that network connectivity, DNS etc are all OK, both when the addserver commands are issued and when ntpq reports the .INIT. situation.

I have compiled 4.2.2 from source (./configure --enable-parse-clocks) on a Linux 2.4.20 machine:

hostname = penta
uname -m = i686
uname -r = 2.4.20-28.7
uname -s = Linux
uname -v = #1 Thu Dec 18 11:31:59 EST 2003

Please can you let me know which data I should capture the next time I see this problem?

Thanks, Jan
