Thank you for the suggestion. I will try it July 24 when I am back in
the office.

I've dug into it further and, on the surface, it appears that IPv6 was
identified as available when the binary was built for OSR 5. IPv6 is
not available for OSR5, so the binary was built on OSR 6 and
mislabeled, or the autoconf test failed.

Thanks again, Martin, for the relevant reply,
