      IPv6 is not supported on Windows but in merlin-beta if an application
      attempts to connect or bind to an IPv6 address it results in a
      confusing exception. The exception should indicate the protocol family
      is not supported but instead indicates the address is not available.
      This should be fixed for beta-refresh.
