Subject: [ruby-talk:01669] Possible problem with ext/socket in 1.5.2



    p TCPsocket.getaddress('localhost')

returns

    "::ffff:127.0.0.1"


I'm wondering if I'm looking at some IPV6 strangeness. The ext/socket
code looks for a #define INET6, but this doesn't seem to appear in my
system.

As it is, the return value is breaking net/ftp.


Anyone got any ideas?
