The new (4.2.0) ntpd does not panic the kernel anymore! I guess because of
this commit. Thanks.

I do see the following message in /var/log/mesaages though, so what should
one do to have it not fail?

Oct 19 12:06:28 angel ntpd[475]: ntpd 4.2.0@1.1161-r Sun Oct 19 12:03:50 SAST 2003 (18)
Oct 19 12:06:28 angel ntpd[475]: mlockall(): Resource temporarily unavailable

Hmmm, or is it the setrlimit(RLIMIT_STACK, &rl) just before mlockall()
that cause that? The code basically looks like this:

#################
if (getrlimit(RLIMIT_STACK, &rl) != -1
    && (rl.rlim_cur = 20 * 4096) < rl.rlim_max) {
	if (setrlimit(RLIMIT_STACK, &rl) == -1) {
		msyslog(LOG_ERR,
		    "Cannot adjust stack limit for mlockall: %m");
	}
}
if (mlockall(MCL_CURRENT|MCL_FUTURE) < 0)
	msyslog(LOG_ERR, "mlockall(): %m");
#################
