	Indeed. I was fine right up till the time I tried to access the
internet with a perl program. Then I got the following error:

Address family not supported by protocol family
aka
EAFNOSUPPORT    47

	This was with using the perl 5.00502 port on -Stable. I realize this
isn't high on anyone's list of things to fix, but I thought I'd mention
it. :)
