It seems that the problem is that pioneers (or some underlying library) is only trying the first address returned by getaddrinfo. I have localhost as pointing to both 127.0.0.1 and ::1 (I don't think I did this. Did the debian installer do this?). When the ai attempts to connect to the server, it tries to connect to ::1 and fails. However, if I telnet to localhost 5556, telnet finds 127.0.0.1 and connects successfully. (See output below.) Removing localhost from ::1 or making getaddrinfo prefer ipv4 addresses fixes the issue, but really pioneers should be able to deal with multiple addresses.
