Breaks as follows:

pi at raspberrypi2:~/ntpsec $ ntpq/ntpq -p -c "cv &1" -c "cv &2"
     remote           refid      st t when poll reach   delay   offset  jitter

Also, it seems that association indices can't be used if you do not
print any peer list:

pi at raspberrypi2:~/ntpsec $ ntpq/ntpq -c "cv &1" -c "cv &2"
No such index.
No such index.

I havent tracked when it was broken, but I assume this is a missing
initialization and was always there.
