   Shouldn't the manpage lib/libc/sys/ntp_gettime.2 also be updated? It claims
now:

RETURN VALUES
      The ntp_gettime() function returns the value 0 if successful; otherwise
      the value -1 is returned and the global variable errno is set to indicate
      the error.

      Possible states of the clock are:
 	...

So it still refers to old behaviour (return either 0 or -1), which is 
confusing enough.
