And the results you got from lsof suggest that it's some kind of network monitor that's hosted by kded4, using the ntrack library https://launchpad.net/ntrack. I've never heard of this before. ntrack appearently has the option to use either libnl or its own built-in netlink protocol code, and is using the latter on your system. If you install ntrack-module-libnl-0 and remove ntrack-module-rtnetlink-0, does this fix the problem? Yes, that fixes the problem. Thanks for your help. Should the bug be filed against an other package? kde-runtime - libntrack-qt4-1 - libntrack0 - ntrack-module-rtnetlink-0 Which one from the packages above?

[...] The code that generates this warning (nla_parse()) has not changed between 3.2 and 3.3-rc6, so this is probably due to a difference elsewhere. It seems to indicate a bug in the userland program sending the message that is being parsed, but perhaps I misunderstand. It would be useful if we could tell which program is sending the message, but I think that may be difficult to do.
