    I don't have a recent FreeBSD to play with right now, but
I believe this is due to the default setting for the IPV6_V6ONLY
socket option being 1 (affects the other BSD's as well).
    With FreeBSD, you should be able to set the net.inet6.ip6.v6only
sysctl variable to 0 to change the default behavior.   I'll
try to get out a new release with the appropriate setsocket call
out as soon as I can get a FreeBSD box up for testing.
