ntpd filling log

Hi,

My dmesg and /var/log/messages are full of ntpd complaining,
it seems to be trying to get a IPv6 address:

Aug 28 10:20:11 atlas ntpd[3443]: bind() fd 21, family 10, port 123,
scope 4, addr fe80::20e:2eff:fe51:c525, in6_is_addr_multicast=
0 flags=0x11 fails: Cannot assign requested address
Aug 28 10:20:11 atlas ntpd[3443]: unable to create socket on ra0 (22)
for fe80::20e:2eff:fe51:c525#123
Aug 28 10:20:11 atlas ntpd[3443]: failed to initialize interface for
address fe80::20e:2eff:fe51:c525

Can anyone suggest why this might be happening all
of a sudden?  (All I can think of is I changed from the
old rt2500 driver for my wireless card to the rt2x00
driver in current kernels.)

It does seem to be talking to IPv4 okay, since
there's one mention of:
Aug 28 10:16:45 atlas ntpd[3443]: synchronized to 198.144.194.12, stratum 2
Aug 28 10:18:50 atlas ntpd[3443]: synchronized to 198.38.16.2, stratum 2
Aug 28 10:18:55 atlas ntpd[3443]: synchronized to 195.179.15.117, stratum 3

System is 2.6.22.2-42.fc6
