   Interesting.  Were all the upgrades from versions less than 5.3
   I wonder? Reason I ask is that many people (including me) seem to
   have started having problems with ntp around that time.  There was
   a thread in the stable mailing list about it here:
   http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?20050401104508.GJ71384

   Perhaps the ntp problem is related to what you're seeing and not
   an ntp problem at all.  Someone raised a bug report at ntp.isc.org
   https://ntp.isc.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=452
   but it has had no action.

   Sorry it's only a hunch and not a solution.
