I just could create the log entry. It is good to be open eyed but in
this case you see something uncritical. To reproduce I did a "service
sshd restart" and tailed /var/log/secure:

Jul 13 03:50:34 serendipity sshd[2081]: Received signal 15; terminating.
Jul 13 03:50:34 serendipity sshd[7124]: Server listening on :: port 22.
Jul 13 03:50:34 serendipity sshd[7124]: error: Bind to port 22 on
0.0.0.0 failed: Address already in use.

Can it be that you change your runlevel by hand, maybe booting into init
3 and then changing that by hand to 5? Check the exact times in your
secure log file to have an idea what exactly you might do at the times
when the message is logged.
