I believe these two lines are the source of the bug. Here's the change that introduced it: http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/usr.bin/ssh/channels.c#rev1.183 The commit message cites: http://mail-index.netbsd.org/current-users/2002/09/16/0005.html which says that binding to the wildcard IPv6 address fails if no interfaces have IPv6 addresses assigned. I think that's a BSD kernel bug that we don't need to pander to (and has probably been fixed in the mean time).
