Yes, java seems to prefer to use IPv6 mapped addresses for IPv4. But this
does not explain why:

sysctl -w net.inet6.ip6.v6only=0

does not work.

Not that I am suggesting to change the sysctl, because of the security
implications. On the other hand, what's the longer term plan for this?
Should we default the preferIPv4Stack to true for the BSD builds?
