  Don't bother:

  freecol fails, because it spawns a server on "localhost", but it
connects using 127.0.0.1.

  What I think is happening is that localhost is IPv6 by default (why ?)
so freecol fails when it later connects to 127.0.0.1.

  Is that a bug in openjdk (ie fails to listen on both IPv6 and IPv4, or
takes localhost as IPv6 only) or freecol ? (where it should call both as
localhost ?).

  I hope it makes it more clear.

  Cheers,

	Vincent
