It was found that ntpd exits with a segmentation fault when a statistics type that was not enabled during compilation (e.g. timingstats) is referenced by the statistics or filegen configuration command, for example:
ntpq -c ':config statistics timingstats' ntpq -c ':config filegen timingstats'

(in 4.2.6, the code than handles NULL == filegen needs to be adjusted as the outer loop was changed from while to for)
