When working with the package recently, I've stumbled upon what
may be another manifestation of the same bug. Now, I suspect
that it's not IPv6 addresses by itself that trigger the problem,
but rather the length of their respective string
representations. Actually, I guess that there's some static
buffer involved, which is long enough to hold something like
tcp://192.168.144.120:54321 (and tcp6://2002:bc87::1:54321), but
truncates tcp6://2002:bc87:e7e5:2444:272:eff:fe0f:e02f:43210 at
the 48'th character or so.
Unfortunately, I was unable to find the relevant part of the
code to check it myself.
(Hopefully, I'd be able to gather some debugging output
tomorrow.)
