Can you give some more information please? I have a few -current boxes, some SMP, some not, all running ntpd although various versions and I don't see it. Normally this message is an indication that ntpd is receiving packets faster then it can process it. Info that might be useful: What does your ntp.conf file look like? Is it a ntp server or client box? If it is a server, does it have a lot of clients? Is the machine very busy? At what priority are you running ntpd?
