Thanks for this report. In r31660, I made it so that it is not a fatal
error to fail to open a listening socket, unless all listening addresses
fail to open. The only case where we try to listen on more than one
address is when no listening address is specified, and we try to listen
on IPv4 and IPv6 simultaneously.
