You don't say what version you're using, but be sure to use the
just-released
2.5.1 because there were some changes with respect to ipv6 in that version.
They weren't tested on OpenBSD so there may be some problems, I don't
know.
If you don't really want ipv6 another workaround may be to compile with
configure --disable-ipv6 or use the runtime option -4. I did the last
modifications because the code was causing the daemon to shut down on Linux
in some cases, but I really don't know anything about how IPv6 things are
supposed to be implemented, and if somebody who knows what they're doing
would take a look at it it would be appreciated.
