Nup.

    for (addr = addrs; addr; addr = addr->ai_next)
    {
#ifdef HAVE_UNIX_SOCKETS
        /* Ignore AF_UNIX sockets, if any are returned. */
        if (addr->ai_family == AF_UNIX)
            continue;
#endif
        if ((pgStatSock = socket(addr->ai_family, SOCK_DGRAM, 0)) >= 0)
            break;
    }

I thing I haven't seen asked: is there a packet filter blocking
local<->local UDP traffic by any chance?
