Update: This finally finished (the machine in question is my secondary desktop system). After commenting out ipv6_enable="YES" in my /etc/rc.conf, everything's working. Specifically, a named instance answers queries as expected, sshd binds listening sockets and accepts connections (IPv4 only of course), and sendmail comes up without any unexpected log messages. ifconfig(8) shows the expected addresses on the various interfaces (IPv4-only on everything except lo0). If anyone out there is having problems similar to what Doug originally described, now would be a great time to speak up. (Recent HEAD, RELENG_6, or RELENG_6_2, with INET6 enabled in the kernel but ipv6_enable *not* enabled in /etc/rc.conf, seeing problems with programs failing to bind listening sockets.) Thanks, Bruce.
