This report is against 0.58. Since then (in fact, since 0.60, so only in development snapshots) we've changed the behaviour, as described at <http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/wishlist/portfwd-addr-family.html>; this was partly prompted by a bug report against Ubuntu, <https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/putty/+bug/67488>. Have we got it right yet, or are we still blundering around in the swamp? (I haven't tried to digest the details of Eduard's bug report re the finer points of getaddrinfo() invocation etc.) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
