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.
