I am using ntp 1:4.2.8p4+dfsg-3ubuntu5 (i.e. the currently available package) and it crashes consistently and silently at, or shortly after, system boot up. If I restart it using systemctl then it crashes. If I start it manually from the command line just running 'ntpd' then it seems to keep running for longer, but even then it eventually silently crashes.

This is on a KVM-based VM running as a mail server with stock Postfix and Dovecot. I mention these packages because all other VMs (and PMs) have no issues, despite identical underlying installations.

I've installed 1:4.2.8p4+dfsg-3ubuntu5.1 and this seems to have fixed the problem.
