ntp gets stuck when acquiring lock

Bug Description

Binary package hint: ntp

Source: ntp 1:4.2.4p4+dfsg-6ubunt1
Release: 8.10

If I run the following commands:

sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart; sudo /etc/init.d/ntp restart

ntp gets stuck while starting.

It seems that a "networking restart" forces an "ntp restart", and this restart is asychronous, so it messes up with the second ntp restart.

Keep in mind that ntp uses lockfile-touch and lockfile-create, and those are causing the blocking.
