I too had a  similar problem and tnx to a hint from  dman, I was able to
stop it from being echoed on to the console/screen.

The problem is with multi-casting  and I suspect that all default kernel
2.4.x packages, come with this  option either compiled in or moduled.  I
could  fix  this  by re-compiling  my  kernel  and  turning off  the  IP
Multicasting option under Networking options/TCP/IP networking.

Happy fire-walling ;-)
