  * BUGS
  
+ ** Ange-ftp should ignore irrelevant IPv6 errors:
+ 
+ Message-Id: <address@hidden>
+ From: "Piet van Oostrum" <address@hidden>
+ To: address@hidden
+ Subject: Ange-ftp can't deal with IPV6/IPV4 fallback
+ 
+ Symptoms:
+ 
+ C-x C-f /ftp.nluug.nl:/
+ 
+ The problem is that the DNS first gives an IPV6 address. However our
+ router doesn't do IPV6. Ftp then falls back to IPV4:
+ 
+ ftp> open ftp.nluug.nl
+ Trying 2001:610:1:80aa:192:87:102:36...
+ ftp: connect to address 2001:610:1:80aa:192:87:102:36: No route to host
+ Trying 192.87.102.36...
+ Connected to ftp.nluug.nl.
+ 
+ Ange-ftp chokes on the `No route to host' message and doesn't look any
+ further. 
+ 
+ I think in the near future we will see more of this problem, so it might be
+ time to make anfe-ftp more intelligent.
+ 
  ** Mailabbrev should quote addresses to correspond to RFC 822.
