Comment:
This sounds like a peculiarity of the BSD networking stack. On Linux, the
code correctly chooses a wildcard address that responds to both IPv4 and
IPv6 traffic.
I'd strongly suggest that a BSD user dig into the platform-specific
problem. Suggesting an API change without any investigation of the
underlying issue is not the right approach.
