Maybe I'm missing something but... if the client part defaults to connecting
to "localhost" in TCP mode, why doesn't the server part also default to
listening on "localhost" in TCP mode? Having different address detection
algorithms on both ends sounds like a recipe for bugs like this.

In any case, perhaps one should ask guidance to the original author before
making important changes like this one.
