next thing would be stop portmapper

/etc/init.d/portmap stop

and run netstat to be sure nothing is using port 111

netstat -an | grep 111

also be sure portmapper is really stopped by checking the process
list. if something is using port 111 use fuser to determine what
it is:

fuser -n tcp 111
fuser -n udp 111

if both of the above tests return nothing my next idea would be to
run strace on portmapper as it starts and log the output:

strace /sbin/portmap >&/tmp/output.log

it may give some clues..though strace is REAAAAAAAAAALY verbose,
finding the problem is usually not too easy for me at least,
I'm not a developer, but sometimes it can be found... try posting
the log file on a web/ftp site if you can't decipher it.

and after that I'm not sure what to suggest, are you running
woody? if not I suppose it could be a bug..
