RH Kernel?

I have seen this and not been able to track it down properly - I suspect
a bug thats related to glibc and/or module loading.

There is a workround that worked for me - its in the archives somewhere,
however in essence if you force your interface addresses to be ipv4 only
(no ipv6) then you stop seeing that message

See

If anyone can actually pin down what the hell is triggering this I would
be eternally (or several minutes and a few beers at least) grateful.
