Interesting.  I've seen one report about this assertion before yours.
Unfortunately there was very little to go on there apart from the
fact that vrrpd was involved.

This assertion can only be caused by netlink applications.  What
netlink applications do you use on this machine? Examples include
ip(8), the ULOG target of iptables, vrrpd, etc.
