Thanks, I'll experiment with this.

I also seemed to have stumbled on an IPv6 bug with Deadwood, in that it does
not bind to Unique Local Addresses (Defined by IANA as fc00::/7, but only
fd00::/8 is currently in use by the RFC specification).

Going to run gdb/ddd on it to trace where/why, just to eliminate the issue
being something with my virtual machine's configuration.  Seems so far to
point at do_bind() in DwSocket.c not getting something back that it likes.
