 On linux the local_endpoint() function returns an endpoint similar to
 0.0.0.0:1234. A socket which is given this endpoint to connect to will
 connect successfully. A similar endpoint is returned on Windows, however
 the socket connection is not successful.

 I am currently working around this problem by inserting loopback as the
 address to connect to. For the sake of consistency between platforms it
 may be worthwhile including a similar substitution within the socket's
 connect operation if 0.0.0.0 is detected.
