Pfff, awesome. That pretty much explains why ktorrent is barely seeding 
anymore. I gotta love being screwed over this way and how bindv6only=1 was 
squeezed to squeeze without proper announcement or explanation (there is no 
obligation to read debian-devel). Whenever you report a similar bug in the 
feature, do not forget to mention that this setting has become a default.

Now I have no clue what's going to take to fix this bug and how intrusive the 
patch might be.
