Good catch -- trying to get IP6 working makes sense as well.

As a module overall, the basic startup and event loop stuff could be exposed as commands instead of special case startup code in a custom binary.  I think that could get aolserver/tcl closer to command-line PHP type flexibility which enables, e.g., "crush" in drupal.  May be too much effort but something to explore.
