    _______________________________________________________

Details:

The 'scm_to_sockaddr' function does not handle IPv6 address correctly; it
tries to treat the whole sockaddr vector as the integer IP address. 
Consequently, Guile-1.8.7 cannot speak IPv6.

Full details including testcase and proposed patch:
