Hi,

Quoted 3 lines · Gert Doering

Trac #793

As a side note, in case this isn't obvious: this is for release/2.3, as the man page for 2.4 and master describes the dual-stack capabilities of 2.4 correctly.

In reply to Gert Doering

Patch has been applied to the release/2.3 branch, with the suggested change from "can not" to "cannot", though oxford dictionary claims both is correct :-) - just "cannot" is more frequently used.
