Even if it's not formally 'supported' we need to treat these as valid bugs as 
this will, over time, be an increasingly common configuration.  I have one 
server running in a data center with native IPv6 and the only issue I ran into 
so far is the need to add an IPv6 localhost by hand (this should at least ben 
done by the installer on new installs, but I doubt it should be done for 
upgrades).
