I cannot reproduce any dealy.  I need more info on your setup.  Do you
have IPv6 interfaces configured?  Where is the localhost definition
coming from?  Do you have an IPv6 address defined?

The output in this last line is a mistake I just corrected.  What you
see is the host name (localhost) interpreted as an IPv6 address.
Nothing seriously broken, just a little copy&paste error in the debug
output.  This has no consequences on the rest of the program.
