Literally, it means that the bind(3) library call failed with errno set
to EINVAL. It would appear that named tried to bind a socket that was
already bound. No idea why. (Trying to bind to an address/port
combination which is already in use by another process -- like if you
tried to start up 2 named's with identical configurations -- gives a
different error, so that's not it).
