Looking at the ntp-dev code, there are only two references to
PEVNT_TAI:
#define PEVNT_TAI (16 | PEER_EVENT) /* TAI */
{ PEVNT_TAI & ~PEER_EVENT, "TAI" },
So your point is well taken, the value doesn't fit in the peer status
word, but in fact it is defined but not used as far as I can see,
arguing for its removal. Dr. Mills may be able to shed more light.
Cheers,
