I checked the CVS repo at OpenBSD It looks like the -l -p
option interaction was pulled in when Eric Jackson's updates
for IPv6 support were added in Revision 1.21

http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/usr.bin/nc/netcat.c

The commit comments seem humorous (but only in hindsight):

"Import completely re-written netcat w/ support for IPv6.
very little usage has changed ...."

> Anyway, if the netcat from FedoraCore wins out and -l does not combine
> with -p anymore, can someone please fix Wikipedia[1]?

That and a hundred other web pages! ;-)
