Since it is listed as a bugzilla fix, I could probably live with this in
1.1.4; but it would be nice to get a second opinion (after all, this is
not a regression, so it could be argued that we are finally implementing
a missing feature).

As to the code, I didn't spot any errors.  I do wonder if checking for
EAFNOSUPPORT on every iteration for finding a free port could be made
more efficient by remembering up front if ipv6 is even enabled, and
skipping the attempt in that case (that is, a running system is unlikely
to change which subset of [ipv4, ipv6] that it currently supports except
at boot).  But there's probably more in the code base that we could
optimize if we know that a particular family is unsupported for the
given process.
