NTP tests taking forever

[Stewart L]

We run a distributed hohbbit across a number of sites.  This weekend, we had
some bad weather that knocked out power.  As a result, my NTP tests took
longer than normal, causing some warnings with bbtest.

Anyone run into this before?  How did you fix it.

Error output:
WARNING: Runtime 325 longer than time limit (300)
