Pretty sure that's what's going on here. When Guile makes server sockets, it assumes it should listen on a single family/address/port triple. Specifically for INADDR_LOOPBACK that's going to be IPv4 127.0.0.1 and not IPv6 at all. Probably we should use getaddrinfo if the user supplies a "host", and use that to plumb through a list of addresses on which to bind (and/or connect). Andy
