Hi -

I've got two computers running 11.0-RELEASE-p3 - they have a nearly
identical configuration and set of packages.

Both computers are running the GENERIC amd64 kernel (FreeBSD
11.0-RELEASE-p2).

On computer "A" ntpd starts and runs just fine.

On computer "B" ntpd starts but then dies with an "out of memory" error.
Here is the output:

root@B:~ # ntpd -4Lnd

ntpd: clnt_dg_create: out of memory
-- --- --:--:-- ntpd[1122]: fatal out of memory (64 bytes)

For the life of me I cannot figure out why ntpd refuses to run on
computer "B." Has anyone seen anything like this before? Any ideas on
where I should start looking?

Thanks,

Matt
