This is not a bug. Sshd attempts to bind to port 22 on all
interfaces by default. If it's already started and bound to the
port then you'll see this error. Nothing to worry about, unless ssh
isn't working..then well you may have a problem.

As for init....when some services start or restart they call init
again. This may be what you're seeing. Someone will correct if I'm
mistaken.
