:If it's fun I'll give it a try then.
:
:I tested the following patch by starting dntpd on a machine
:disconnected from the network and set to an incorrect system time.
:dntpd goes into background without hanging and, when connected back,
:the time is eventually corrected.
:
:Is it as simple as that?  Have I missed some corner case?

    Just the logging case.  I'm pretty sure with a high enough logging
    level it will log messages that imply a failed connection 
    reconnected when, in fact, it is the initial connection that is
    being handled.

    Other then that, well, yah... it's pretty easy :-).  Take a quick
    shot at the logging case and then we'll commit it.
