rsync --daemon only binding against IPv6

Hi!

We (NetBSD pkgsrc) got the following bug report:
	http://www.NetBSD.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=18134

In short, it says that rsync-2.5.5 does not bind to a IPv4 port (it
binds only to an IPv6 port) when used with rsync --daemon, making it
impossible to use rsync as rsync server under NetBSD 1.5.2

Any hints on this one?


Also, one patch we have in pkgsrc seems not to have been included in
the distribution yet. It is attached. It was added to pkgsrc with the
following comment:

The arithmetic here must be ordered so that type promotions (s->n is
unsigned) do not cause a false match.


Bye,
 Thomas
