My understanding is that for the majority of systems, 127.0.0.1 should 
still connect to ::1.  The reason we have the ipv4 and ipv6 options is 
because this doesn't work 100% of the time.  Maybe your configuration is 
an example of this.

Honestly, I don't understand how ipv4 compat is supposed to work outside 
of qemu so I'm looking for some additional input.
