NTP conflates broadcast and multicast when opening sockets. The broadcast
address does not need to be opened for multicast clients. This has been
reported as NTP community bug 2990 (http://bugs.ntp.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2990)
and this patch may be removed after upgrading to a version of NTP which has
bug 2990 fixed.
