ntpd bind() failure: Can't assign requested address

I fear I cannot answer all of these questions. I don't have any IPv6
addresses configured in rc.conf. Also, I am not using dhcp. Basically
I only have IPv4 networking configured with static addresses --
neither have I actively _disabled_ IPv6.

This is my ifconfig output:

re0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
         options=8009b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,LINKSTATE>
         ether 00:16:36:74:20:76
         inet XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX netmask 0xfffffff0 broadcast XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX

         nd6 options=29<PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED,AUTO_LINKLOCAL>

         inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 0xffffff00
         inet 192.168.1.2 netmask 0xffffff00
         inet 192.168.1.3 netmask 0xffffff00
         nd6 options=29<PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED,AUTO_LINKLOCAL>

Also, I have noticed something: when i disable ntpd_enable in rc.conf
and start ntpd manually after boot up, no such errors are logged. So I
had the impression that is must have something to do with the
timing. I have changed /etc/rc.d/ntpd in such a way that it logs the
output of ifconfig at the beginning. But... there's no difference to
the ifconfig output above. Hence I am not sure what's going on.

Thanks for any help!
