Very rarely, ntpd with a "listen *" configuration fails to start
up for me, saying it can't bind to an address.  As far as I can
remember, that always happened to the very last address, a global
IPv6 one.

The condition is so rare, I'm not sure how I recovered from it on
past occurrences.  The last time it happened was two days ago on
my laptop, after I had added a second ethernet interface for testing
purposes.  I was busy with something else so I didn't investigate
and the problem went away when I ejected the interface.  I haven't
been able to reproduce it.

This may not be ntpd's fault.  I know some people have problems
with isakmpd starting up before v6 duplicate address detection (DAD)
has settled for all interfaces.  Could DAD stall for minutes or never
finish at all?

Anyway, I just wanted to throw this out there as an observation.
