Comment:

 Actually the POSIX behaviour when using INADDR_ANY in a connect()
 operation is to connect to a server listening on any local interface.
 Mimicking this behaviour for consistency may be possible but is non-
 trivial. I am going to change this to a feature request to be considered
 in the future.
