Ah - I'm looking at a slightly older verion (4.2.4p8), but I'd guess
there is similar code lurking.

I think the sending code might be in ntp_control.c - there seem to
be a bunch of variables that are sent with a fixed precision (search
for 1e3 or 1e6). My guess is that because a bunch of variables are
often packed into a UDP packet, a decision to keep them a modest
size was probably taken.
