I am not surprised.

I think ntpd forks a helper process.  You're probably right about
ntpd -g.  ntpdate is worth a try.

I will have a look at that post later.

That's about what I expect to happen.  0.6.0 is a pretty big jump
from 0.5.9.  0.6.0 nodes treat metrics differently than <0.6.0 nodes,
which makes weird things happen when you mix them.
