6-STABLE + zebra == Can't bind to stream socket

In order to deal with a lack of layer 3 switch, last week I installed 
Quagga/OSPF on all of my servers, and got it configured.  Works *great* on 
my 7.x servers, but, using the same config (and port), my 6-STABLE boxes 
all generate the same error when I try and start up zebra:

2010/05/01 01:44:18 ZEBRA: Can't bind to stream socket: Can't assign 
requested address
2010/05/01 01:44:18 ZEBRA: zebra can't provice full functionality due to 
above error
2010/05/01 01:44:18 ZEBRA: Zebra 0.99.15 starting: vty at 2601

So ospfd isn't able to announce / receive routes ...

My zebra.conf file looks like:

!
interface em0
  no shutdown
  ip address 200.46.204.60/24
!
interface em1
!
interface lo0
!
ip route 0.0.0.0/0 200.46.208.1
!
ip forwarding
!
line vty

The top bit of ifconfig shows:

ifconfig em0 | less
em0: flags=8943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
         options=1b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING>
         inet 200.46.204.60 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 200.46.204.255
         inet 200.46.208.60 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 200.46.208.255
         inet 192.168.1.7 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
         inet 200.46.204.183 netmask 0xffffffff broadcast 200.46.204.183


Other then appropriate interface/IP on the 7-STABLE boxes, the 7-STABLE 
boxes all work fine ... is there an issue with em/fxp devices and zebra on 
6-STABLE/i386? Or am I overlooking something in my config?

Thx ...
