It means the name server was unable to bind to port 53 of interfaces
127.0.0.1 and 195.22.0.19. It has discarded these network interfaces
on your system because it can't listen for incoming DNS queries on
them. The reason the bind() system call/library routine failed was
because of a permissions problem. You probably didn't start named as
root, which means that the process doesn't have permission to bind to
portnumber 53: a privileged port. Check the man page for bind().
