>Description:

I installed pkgsrc/net/nsd and tried to start it:

nsdc start
[1170065601] nsd[10027]: error: cannot parse address '(null)'

After some poking around in the source (this happens early in "main"),
it ocured to me, that it does not like my IPv4-only kernel (blame my ISP!)

Adding

 # Flags to pass to nsd on startup
 flags="-4"

to /usr/pkg/etc/nsd/nsdc.conf worked around it.

This would not be much of a problem, if the mode of failure would not be
so lame.
