A colleague (who is using IRC) came today with the complaint that
the irc client doesn't work (anymore) on our main server machine
(which is running -current of varying vintage). This is what he got:


 *** Connecting to port 6667 of server irc.informatik.rwth-aachen.de
 *** Unable to connect to port 6667 of server irc.informatik.rwth-aachen.de:
 +Address family not supported by protocol family

 *** Unable to connect to port 6667 of server irc.rz.uni-karlsruhe.de: Address

 *** Use /SERVER to connect to a server


Any ideas?
