Oracle listener failing to start

Since today, we are suddenly getting the following error when trying to start the listener. This is on a development machine, a SS-10 running Solaris 2.4 (with the recommented patches for Oracle installed). This used to work last week! Anybody got a clue?

Please mail me (also), if possible. Thanks.

Here's the error:

$ su oracle
% lsnrctl start
