In parseAllowedMask (file socketTransport.c) , prefixLen of mask is compared with a maxValue (32 for IPv4, 128 otherwise). This fails on AIX if it is larger than 32, because getaddrinfo seems to often (always ?) detect IPv4 family, even for IPv6 addresses, so we take the wrong maxValue. Probably we have to adjust the allowed maxValue on AIX, or adjust the IPv6 check.
