Let's try it:
time_constant is created for internal use of ntp.c and added by 4
- time_constant = min(txc->constant + 4, (long)MAXTC);
+ time_constant = min(txc->constant + 4, (long)MAXTC + 4);
But sometimes it is written back to data referenced from outside. So let's do
the + 4 backwards ...
- txc->constant = time_constant;
+ txc->constant = time_constant - 4;
otherwise I'd like to speak of an inconsistency. It doesn't depend of actual
use and other topics.
