Hm.  I think this is something in your local environment causing the 
attachment to the NTPD shared-memory segment to fail. Try building with pps=no;
that should banish these errors.  And tell me if it does - I may want to
add a note to the test instructions.
 
I'll test and get back to you about the split24 issue.
