The following is what is written to my ntp.log
file when ntpd starts:

ntpd[9890]: signal_no_reset: signal 13 had flags
4000000
ntpd[9890]: precision = 21 usec
ntpd[9890]: kernel time discipline status 0040
ntpd[9890]: Un-parsable frequencyin
etc/ntp/drift

Any ideas on how I can correct this problem?

My suggestion is to delete the file "drift" and then restart the system. This will cause the daemon to recalculate the drift frequency. (This recalculation could take uo to an hour). Hopefully a more reasonable drift frequency will be obtained this time.

Hope this helps.
