hmmm...

are you making real use of ipv6 as well as ipv4? or just have inet6
addresses on your NICs because (like me) you haven't bothered disabling
ipv6?

and do you have allow lines in munin-node.conf for ipv6 addresses?

i'd think the same if it was just my main home workstation (which
has been messed about with since i started using debian in '94 -
both hardware and software continuously upgraded, so there's a LOT
of cruft)...but the error is consistent on every system i upgraded
libnet-server-perl and restarted munin-node. even clean new VMs with
hardly anything installed, untinkered with, just plain out-of-the-box
stock debian sid.

i could but then i'd break my running munin config :-(

i already lost half a day's stats before i noticed the problem so i'm
not keen to do that right now.

i'll fire up a new VM at work tomorrow and do some more testing. sleep
first :)
