I've encountered this on several GNU/Linux boxen and tracked it down to
| listen on *

When I replace this by
| listen on ::
everything works fine.

On BSD systems, you have to use
| listen on ::
| listen on 0.0.0.0
instead because itojun sadly still doesn't believe in V4_MAPPED.

I also had a similar problem on BSD once, when setting up ntpd on a box
which had two interfaces connected to a bridge, and I was using the same
IP subnet (/64) on both physical interfaces (sis0, sis2 - Soekris net4801,
thanks Wim).

Probably this post will help people encountering the same problems in
the future (can you spell Redhat 5, Knoppix-HDINSTALL and OpenWRT?).
