I couldn't even tell you if your kernel supports IPv6, as that's fairly old 
now. Kernel versions are up in the 4.5.x.x range now.

Did you try compiling the latest binkd sources without IPv6 support?

That's about all I can come up with. If you didn't specify no IPv6 support when 
compiling -94, and your kernel doesn't support it, it's possible that's why you 
saw that error. If it indeed does have anything to do with IPv6 directly, you 
will probably either have to use a version of binkd without IPv6 support, or 
upgrade your puppies. :)

Nick
