I don't think that code has changed between Exim 3 and 4, but I might
have forgotten something. The message is a result of
if (ioctl(vs, V_GIFFLAGS, (char *)&ifreq) < 0)
which is a call to get the flags for a TCP/IP interface. Exim is trying
to get a list of all local interfaces. This something which different OS
seem do differently, and as I don't use NetBSD, I can't really help with
debugging, I'm afraid.
