The "::" in the log message is the IPv6 equivalent of 0.0.0.0 in IPv4.
You machine *is* dual stacked even if it only has IPv6 on loopback.
Ah. Adding avoid-v6-udp-ports has indeed solved my issue.
Thank you.
(I'd assumed BIND wouldn't be trying to open IPv6 sockets since I'd not
configured any IPv6 interfaces on the host.
'/sbin/ifconfig -a inet6; /sbin/ifconfig -a inet' is showing
only IPv4 interfaces, not even a IPv6 loopback.)
