That'd be another CVE that NTPsec dodges before it's issued.

We removed interleaved mode months ago because the code smelled bad
and turned out to have an implementation error in the timestamp
handling.

On past performance, there'll be about a 75% chance each that we've
pre-fixed the other new security bugs.
