  I think this is indeed a bug in getaddrinfo() - I'll have a look at
the specs to check (tomorrow! :).

  And this is also, I think, working as specified. An IPv6-bound
socket will accept IPv4 connections. This is the entire purpose of the 
IPv4-mapped space (addresses like ::FFFF:a.b.c.d).

  I'm pretty sure about the second point, and I'll try to dig up some
specs on the first to see if the getaddrinfo specification says what I 
think it does.
