Hi Dennis,

I had read Danny's reply on the NTP newsgroup. When I posted here I
was primarily trying to find out if anyone more familiar with OpenBSD
was working on the problem. The "bodge" you provided does allow ntp
to compile, but obviously it needs more work before it is a real
patch!

Thank you,
