I don't feel that opening another bug for the same issue is helpful and
have marked Bug #288914 as a duplicate.

This is of much more interest than any other issue.

The patch I submitted to this bug brings NTP down and restarts it when
an interface comes up. It was based on the fix that was supplied by
heindsight. It was applied after testing and confirming, like J Carrera
did, that it worked.

I don't have a machine with multiple interfaces available, but I suspect
now that the code runs for *each* interface, causing NTP to be restarted
multiple times. While annoying, this should not actually cause it to fail.

I'm much more interested in attempting to determine what starts NTP and
how to fix that.
