Yes, you can get things like this on machines that eg know about ipv6
but don't have any ipv6 addresses. I think distcc has something to
work around this.

If I'd reviewed that change I think I would have suggested listening
only on ipv4 by default unless the user specifically asked for it with
--port, as for most users today it will only cause trouble.
