OK, I am not a tcp expert. How about the following patch? It seems to me that it is wrong for the server to lie about the address it listens to.

Maybe I'm missing something but... if the client part defaults to connecting to "localhost" in TCP mode, why doesn't the server part also default to listening on "localhost" in TCP mode? Having different address detection algorithms on both ends sounds like a recipe for bugs like this.

In any case, perhaps one should ask guidance to the original author before making important changes like this one.
