Just a me-too message to confirm this. Yesterday I upgraded my box from
1.6J to 1.6K, and phoenix 0.4 has stopped working. I always get a
conection refused message. I'm running GENERIC-MP on this box.

I have IPv6 enabled in this box, and my dns server returns AAAA values.

I'm not sure yet, but Linux' Opera works fine, I'd bet it's some change
in the IPv6 code as you've mentioned. I'll try to investigate further
and post the results on this list.
