The debian testing distcc formerly fell over and dies if ipv6 
is enabled in distcc, but it is installed in a non-ipv6 
environment

I've since changed the internal production environemnt to add 
Scope:Link ipv6 addresses, and so cannot presently re-test if 
this is still the case

It appears that the relevant bug at Debian remains untouched:
