I think I figured it out.  " rootdisp=0" refers to "Root Dispersion" which
is quite different from "Root Distance".  They do look a little alike.

One is the distance from the local clock to the root of the NTP tree and
the other is something different, internal to NTP that is not exposed to a
user.
