@duncanrand - indeed, we haven't forgotten about the IPv6-only case.

However, the options here are all bad:
- Disable IPv6 completely.  Very undesirable.
- Disable IPv6 until buggy client is no longer used (2019).  Very undesirable.
- Break protocol to assume IPv4 connectivity is available.  Undesirable.
- Break protocol until buggy client is no longer used (2019), then switch off protocol break and fix IPv6-only clients.  Slightly less undesirable.

So, we'll have things correct once the oldest clients are cycled out.  I just feel that breaking IPv6-only cases is a better alternate than turning off IPv6 completely.

Andy - is there any other trick to identify old clients that are connecting to the server?  I didn't see a version string passed to the `kXR_login` command.
