[pkg-ntp-maintainers] Bug#782713: /usr/bin/ntpq: Hibernating machine prevents NTP working

[Colin S. Miller]

Package: ntp
Version: 1:4.2.6.p5+dfsg-2+deb7u4
Severity: important
File: /usr/bin/ntpq

Dear Maintainer,

If my machine is hibernated for 12 hours[1],
then on resuming, the NTP demon seems to be unable to
connect to its configured peers. This is as reported by 
"ntpq -p"

     remote           refid      st t when poll reach   delay   offset  jitter
==============================================================================
 ntp.demon.co.uk 195.66.241.2     2 -  19h 1024    0   47.561    0.794   0.000
 anchor-auth-2.s 195.66.241.3     2 -  19h 1024    0   46.565   -1.863   0.000


[1] I've not done an elimination test; 12 hours is approximately
how long I hibernate the machine overnight.
