We don't have ipv6 on that particular machine, so no such problems here.
However, /usr/sbin/ipfs also refuses to operate (it did work before):
# /usr/sbin/ipfs -W
state:SIOCSTGET: Bad address
Exit 1
# /usr/sbin/ipfs -v -W
Turn lock on
Lock now on
Getting state from addr 0x0
state:SIOCSTGET: Bad address
Turn lock off
Lock now off
Exit 1
send-pr'd.
Minor annoyance, but reboots are now more destructive, since all state
info is lost, and thus established connections get blocked.
Also, ipfstat show different numbers for connection state; previously
established was 4/4, whereas now they seem to be 5/5, etc.
Still, even with all the minor problems, I'm glad to see 4.x finally here.
