Subject: getaddrinfo :: ?

I'm tinkering around with Borges on my XP box and one of the first 
things it tries to do out of the chute is:

    server = WEBrick::HTTPServer.new(options)
    server.listen('::', 7000)

The listen method inside WEBrick is:

    def listen(address, port)
      res = Socket::getaddrinfo(address, port,
                                Socket::AF_UNSPEC,   # address family
                                Socket::SOCK_STREAM, # socket type
                                0,                   # protocol
                                Socket::AI_PASSIVE)  # flag

I assume '::' is shorthand for something, localhost if I had to guess 
... but Googling for :: doesn't work so I've no idea where to start 
looking. This is raised as an error:

c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/webrick/server.rb:77:in `getaddrinfo': getaddrinfo: 
no addr
ess associated with hostname. (SocketError)
        from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/webrick/server.rb:77:in `listen'
        from C:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/Borges/WEBrick.rb:67:in `create'
        from C:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/Borges/WEBrick.rb:77:in `start'
        from C:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/Borges/WEBrick.rb:88

Can anyone help me here?
