ipv6_newaddr: Invalid argument

Hi,
Trying to retrieve an IPv6 allocation from a server host. dhcpcd appears
to be set up correctly and is running. However, running the command
systemctl status dhcpcd@enp1s0.service reports running OK then 10
identical lines containing "Jan 08 22:21:54 sd-136208 dhcpcd[409]:
ipv6_newaddr: Invalid argument"
In response and following the ArchWiki dhcpcd page, I commented out the
DUID statement and uncommented the clientid statement in
/etc/dhcpcd.conf, rebooted and got the same response. Not at all sure it
was the right thing to do and I can always change it back again if wrong.
The latest command and output:
~]# systemctl status dhcpcd@enp1s0.service
* dhcpcd@enp1s0.service - dhcpcd on enp1s0

This may be related to an earlier discussion regarding dhcpcd making
multiple rapid requests but I thought that had been fixed. Having said
that, I am not sure I followed the detail correctly as all this is very
new to me.
Could/would somebody please point me in the right direction on this?
TIA,
Mike
