While googling for the error string, I found this link which report the same kind of error when Postfix is used with grsecurity (in 2006): http://blog.jensthebrain.de/archives/2006/12/11/IPv6-Probleme-mit-Postfix-und-grsecurity I barely understand German so I'm not sure it is related to your problem.
