for big offsets s->offset like -93634.278879
server->soffset = LFPTOFP(server->offset) becomes 0x7fffffff or
0x80000000.
I don't know, if this an error in LFPTOFP, but if not, consider to add to 
ntpdate.c:clock_adjust:

                absoffset = server->soffset;
                if (absoffset < 0)
                        absoffset = -absoffset;
                if (absoffset == 0x7fffffff || absoffset == 0x80000000)
                        dostep = 1;
                else {
                        dostep = (absoffset >= NTPDATE_THRESHOLD);
                }
