I hate bugs ;) 

The logic is correct and the help statement is correct. The output 
statement is not correct.

All offset numbers should be "sec" not "msec"
All jitter numbers are "msec" 

So it looks like you have a 99 sec offset from the ntp server an hence 
the warning.

(patched version in CVS)

Can you try the check_udp from CVS 
(it is now a link to check_tcp and the 
option handling has been updated).
