You're right! This whole time I had a feeling I was missing something while porting things from jamnntpd to smapinntpd early on.

Very wierd, though, that this issue only affected tin, and no others (oddly enough, the original patch was provided by a guy from tin.org). :)

There was two lines that needed that change. I went back and took a look at the patch on the 'ftnapps/jamnntpd' repo and made the change.

That did the trick. Thanks!

Regards,
Nick
