Subject: Howto bind BGP to single interface?

Trying to determine what is wrong with "strict bind yes;" under "protocol bgp".  The docs suggest that my syntax is correct.

protocol bgp vultr {

        local as 1234;

        source address 111.22.33.44;

        # strict bind yes;      # Fails if uncommented

        import filter accept_all;

        export filter export_bgp;

        # import none;

        graceful restart on;

        multihop 2;

        neighbor 11.22.33.44 as 11111;

        password "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";

        }
