Hmm, that does seem like a useful trick.  This is pretty much the
first time I've run a release that was more than "hmm, haven't heard
any cries of outrage for a few hours, guess I'll grab HEAD and call it
a release" :-).

Err, hmm, I was sort of going off of:

<gizmo1> Just wanted to say that I've just disabled IPv6 on my laptop,
  and I'm experiencing exactly what has been reported.  Trying to
  figure it out as I speak.  bbl with a report, and hopefully a fix.
<gizmo1> Found it, Netxx notices that socket() returns an error state
  and throws a Exception rather than a NetworkException.  I'm checking
  that catching Exception as well covers our problems.
<gizmo1> It does.

  * rcda1bb96190a1ee6166cc2ae610d082a8d925643 / (1 ChangeLog netsync.cc): 
<CIA-1> 2006-04-08 Richard Levitte <address@hidden>
<CIA-1> * netsync.cc (serve_connections): When socket() fails in Netxx,
<CIA-1> it throws a Netxx::Exception rather than a
<CIA-1> Netxx::NetworkException, so we need to catch that as well. This
<CIA-1> should solve the problems some have experienced when they don't
<CIA-1> have a IPv6 stack and try to run a IPv6-enabled monotone.

So I figured that it was fixed :-).  I guess we'll know soon enough...
