Thanks for the report. I was not aware of netstat's intelligent
cropping of IPv6 addresses:
tcp6 0 0 2001:67c:10ec:3dd1:::80 2001:xyz:abc::23:39966 TIME_WAIT
^^^
At least it didn't cut the port but just the remainder of the IPv6
address.

Thanks for checking.

... and in 4.3.13 which I imported into our git repository yesterday.
I've pushed an according patch into our packaging git repository, but
we should probably also forward this to upstream, who is working on
Xymon 5 which should provide much better IPv6 support in general.
