   My turn for testing IPv6...

   Hi Andrew!

     Turned out to be an OS setting, at least on my system; I'd forgotten that    
   I'd set it to default to IPv4 connections (/etc/gai.conf) when I first set the    
   system up at home (so I could work on it; that's not where it's now deployed)    
   because I still do not have reliable IPv6 connectivity there.
