Is that a problem in ntpd or ntpmon? Try ntpq -p from another window and/or
tail rawstats to see if it is getting any answers.

I think that time is delicate enough that halting is preferable to doing
something stupid. You can figure out what you would like to happen in this
case, but I doubt if that covers all similar cases.
There is a pile of heuristics buried in ntpd. It would be good to collect
and document them. Not wildly steping the clock is one area.
