Thanks Lowell, I tried commenting out everything and then adding in 1 
line at a time. Turns out it is a problem with the very first server in 
the list. If I remove it then ntpd starts perfectly.

This is rather odd as I still have a Linux box using the original file 
with no problems. It is also add that the result is a core dump rather 
than a nice error message in the syslog. But such is life.

Thanks again,
Rich
