Package: irssi
Version: 0.8.17-1
Severity: normal
Tags: ipv6

Dear Maintainer,

Starting irssi causes approximately ten lines of

20150823::16:55:28 libsres: could not bind to random port above 44300

to be displayed per server on initial connection. Port number is randomized for 
each message. 

Connection to servers do succeed, after which no further issue has been noted.

Seems to only occur on systems with a global IPv6 address.

The following do not affect/resolve the issue:

* Enabling/disabling IPv6 nameservers in /etc/resolv.conf
* Enabling/disabling irssi's "resolve_prefer_ipv6" setting.
* Enabling/disabling local firewall (iptables)
