Interix 6.0 adds IPv6 support. I suspect Markus is still using Windows XP.

Marcus, can you try on Interix/Vista or Interix/7?

Regardless, I suggest we accept the patch. IPv4-only isn't very useful
on a general purpose computer any more, but who knows what embedded
systems may have no need for internet connectivity.
