8024 is already in use (by ipv6).

No, it is not standard. In fact, there're NO standards.
On RFC 2553 compliance systems, ipv4 communication should go to ipv6
socket in ipv4-mapped manner. However, bind(2) behavior is not specified,
and is different between systems, such as NetBSD, FreeBSD, Linux and Solaris.
Situation is very complicated and server application must be coded
carefully.
(Origianl) Linux kernels shere port number between ipv6 and ipv4.
This is not a bug and is expected behavior of (original) Linux kernel.
On USAGI linux24 kernels, you can bind both ipv6 and ipv4 socket to the
same port number by CONFIG_IPV6_DOUBLE_BIND option.
Its hehavior is like KAME's freebsd3's one. For example,
if there's only ipv6-wildcard socket, ipv4 connection will go to ipv6
socket. If there're both of ipv6-wildcard and ipv4-wildcard socket,
it will go to ipv4 socket.
