>Description:
	
	New, IPV6 capable knews can no longer connect to a non-standard
	port, at least on my IPV4 only setup.
>How-To-Repeat:
	
	Set up a news server to appear on a non-standard port -- e.g., use
	"ssh" with -L 1119:news:119. Invoke knews with
	NNTPSERVER=localhost:1119. Notice that it just fails silently
	right after displaying "Server contacted, waiting for response".
