Avahi-autoipd says : "Netlink packet too small"

Description

I am experiencing problems with avahi-autoipd on a mipsel platform.

Here is what I get :

#avahi-autoipd eth0
Found user 'avahi-autoipd' (UID 102) and group 'avahi-autoipd' (GID 103).
Successfully called chroot().
Successfully dropped root privileges.
Netlink packet too small.

I get the problem with both the debian package and the official version 0.6.17. in iface-linux.c :

if (!NLMSG_OK(p, bytes) || bytes < sizeof(struct nlmsghdr) || bytes < p->nlmsg_len) {
                daemon_log(LOG_ERR, "Netlink packet too small: %zd, %d", bytes, p->nlmsg_len);
                return -1;
}

gives me : "Netlink packet too small: 88, 244"

FYI, #uname -a Linux mesh1 2.6.17 #18 Fri Jun 23 15:41:48 EDT 2006 mips GNU/Linux
