Hi Jussi Thanks a lot for your report, but this is a known problem reported in #561619 and #560137.
There are three possible ways to solve this problem. 1) Open two sockets and make sure to handle that 2) Make sure to open ipv4 and ipv6 addresses at the same time 3) Revert to ipv4 only. The best would be alternative 1 but that one may be a bit hard.
