Not a bug in swat.  Swat uses the standard, documented arguments to
update-inetd; if inetutils-inetd is interpreting this in a way that it only
binds to IPv6 interfaces and not IPv4 interfaces, that's an inetutils-inetd
bug.

I can reproduce the failure mode here, but I don't see from an strace what
inetutils-inetd is doing wrong; it seems to be doing the same sort of
socket() and bind() calls as other services that do work with ipv6.
