It's telling you that your network interfaces are badly
misconfigured.  You have apparently done something seriously odd which
causes it to think that some network that matches 10.0.0.5 is
configured on the loopback interface, when clearly it should be
configured on tl0 instead.  (Alternatively, someone out there on the
network tl0 is connected to has it wrong, but given the numbers in
question this seems less likely.)
