Thanks for responding anyway :)

That's a good idea that I hadn't thought of - in fact, in the back of
my head I had at one time wondered why Fedora added the new host
aliases localhost4 and localhost6 in addition to localhost.

It is probably more generally a good idea for me to change over my
(many) ssh tunnels to explicitly use localhost4 rather than localhost
in the case where I really mean 127.0.0.1 since these ipv4 vs. ipv6
issues will become only more common as ipv6 becomes more of an every
day reality...
