[pkg-ntp-maintainers] Bug#478895: ntpdc -c kerninfo prints wrong pll offset on amd64

Package: ntp
Version: 1:4.2.2.p4+dfsg-2
Severity: minor

Running
	ntpdc -c kerninfo
on an i386 machine generally prints a value between -1 and +1 second
for the pll offset.

Doing the same on an amd64 machine results in about half of the cases
in a
pll offset:           4294.97 s

That's close to 2^32 microseconds. Probably a sign extension bug
somewhere.
