Now that JDK is able to operate with both IPv4 and IPv6 sockets at the same time, the check for IPv4 stdin is no longer relevant.

Could we add some logging/printlns here to indicate the protocol family of `ch` or its local address, to aid in debugging if we ever have problems with the test (eg on IPv6 only systems)?
