Re: BUG #6494: Listening to * fails for IP V6

The trouble is that under AIX, once you have bound an IP V4 socket to a

in

front.

Seems like that is a bug to file with IBM.

Indeed it does, and we did. Took us some time to persuade IBM to really
check this, and some more time until we got an answer. The good news: they
agree that the current behaviour is faulty, and they will change it. The
not so good news: they can't predict when this fix will be available.
