+This file contains problems known to the authors that still need to be done.
+We would appreciate if you could spare some of your time to look through
+these topics and help us with some open questions. Most of the topics
+pertain to specific architectures where we have no direct access or not
+the time or expertise to currently track down the problem further.
+If you don't know what we are talking about in the topics don't bother
+with finding out - somebody else will probably solve that problem.
+
+Before you try to send a solution to mills@udel.edu please check whether
+this problem still exists in the distribution on louie.udel.edu.
+
+Thank you for your help !

+Open issues:
+
+HPUX:
+ - Time warp
+ During the last few month disturbing reports about xntp setting
+ preposterous times during periods of high load have been reported
+ on HPUX 8 and 9. The theory is that the adjtimed message queue
+ gets deleted. Symptoms are that xntp() complains about interrupted
+ system calls in adjtime()-emulation and the time is set to some
+ invalid date. Also the adjtimed seems to have problems. We could
+ need some help here by an experienced HPUX guru.
+ Files affected: adjtime/*
+
+Apollo:
+ - terminal affiliation
+ Check whether thing are still correct in respect to breaking
+ terminal affiliation - horrible stories are told in the code.
+ File affected: xntpd/ntpd.c
