That patch does not work as advertised. I get the error, and the result (according to netstat) is that the server only listens on IPv4. Somewhere when I upgraded to kernel 2.6.30 Pioneers broke, so I assume that the automatic IPv6<->IPv4 bridge was removed. I still think that this bug report now contains two bugs reports: 1) Fixing playing games with localhost (especially for computer players) 2) Making the server IPv6 compliant No 1. is fixed, and that fix alone should be enough to make a new release. It would be nice if no 2. would be fixed, but that can be done slightly later.
