Description Ralf Hauser 2009-07-08 22:05:03 UTC
1) cite the address you attempt to listen (not just the port)
2) proper exception chaining

I have fixed this in trunk and have attached an alternative patch for 6.0.x. I'll propose the alternative patch for 6.0.x shortly.

The patch has been applied to 6.0.x and will be included in 6.0.21 onwards.
