It means what it says. The server attempted a bind() system call and
this failed EACCESS: "permission denied".

This has no bearing on the problem.

Presumably the name server is trying to bind to a privileged port
after it has given up super-user privileges. That would probably
happen if a new network interface has been activated after the name
server was started or if the server was reconfigured after it had done
a set[ug]id() to the non-privileged UID.
