[pkg-ntp-maintainers] Bug#391151: ntpd[4432]: sendto(10.0.7.3) (fd=-1): Bad file descriptor

[Mark Robinson]

Package: ntp
Version: 1:4.2.2+dfsg.2-3
Severity: normal

Since upgrading ntp to 1:4.2.2+dfsg.2-3 I am getting these messages in
syslog every minute and a bit:

Oct  5 16:20:42 piwakawaka ntpd[4432]: sendto(218.185.224.9) (fd=-1): Bad file descriptor

The system appears to be still holding good sync with the uphill servers.
