    I've seen something similar with IPV4. Problem here was that I had
    multiple interfaces with the same address (an ethernet and some
    point-to-point interfaces that shared the same near-end address). ntpd
    appears to enumerate the interfaces and tries to bind (by address) to all
    of them, then fails because it's trying to bind the same thing twice.

    This isn't directly the same as your problem, but might be similar? Do
    you have alias addresses or something that may give the same effect?
