I thought we had found all the paths where the magic value 'unknown'
maxpoll had to be changed to the final real maxpoll.  Any idea where the
maxpoll is not being checked and set?

We have:
    ntp_config.c line 2921
    ntp_perr.c 766

I do not see anywhere else maxpoll was previsouly checked for the magic
zero.

I also thought that every initialization path already checked for
maxpoll > NTP_MAXPOLL.  Maybe it was previsouly caught be a minpoll >
maxpoll check?

Ideas?
