xntpd[28781]: too many recvbufs allocated

Hi,

I have a server that is getting the following alarm a couple times a day:

Mar 25 10:56:54 hostname xntpd[12345]: too many recvbufs allocated (30)
Mar 25 10:56:54 hostname xntpd[12345]: too many recvbufs allocated (30)

I know this is some sort of NTP related issue but I need to gauge the severity of the alarm. My assumption is that it is some innocous message that self-corrects once memory frees up. Any info to shed light on what this alarm is trying to tell me would be helpful.

Thanks in advance.
