The thing you sent to the Debian BTS is an ed-format diff !  Looking
at it it seems to just add a new command-line flag for not truncating
the address.  That's wrong, IMO.

I think my patch (with the obvious fix to the tcp/udp string) is far
better.  It never truncates an IPv6 address when -n is requested,
which I think is necessary to preserve the behaviour that people
(including scripts) rely on.
