>Description:
	The kprop client uses IPv4-only APIs when contacting a kprop server,
	and kpropd only expects IPv4 sockets when run either via inetd or in
	standalone mode.
>How-To-Repeat:
	Set up kpropd on an IPv6-capable host and make sure that the only
	address the client can find is an IPv6 address.  The client will fail
	to resolve the address, and the server will only bind to an IPv4
	socket in standalone mode.
