Changes (by chris_kohlhoff):

  * status:  new => closed
  * resolution:  => invalid

Comment:

 IPv6-bound acceptors will always return IPv6-based remote endpoints.
 However, in this case the address is an IPv4-mapped IPv6 address. Use
 address_v6::is_v4_mapped() to test for this and use address_v6::to_v4() to
 extract the underlying IPv4 address.
