Yeah ... SSLServer.pm has code like this:

	print $hba
	  "hostssl trustdb         all             $serverhost/32            $aut=
hmethod\n";
	print $hba
	  "hostssl trustdb         all             ::1/128                 $authm=
ethod\n";

This seems to me to be approximately the worst of all possible worlds.
Not only will this not work on a machine where IPv6 isn't working, but
it's not possible to actually use IPv6 if you want to, because the netmask
for $serverhost is hard-wired.  Furthermore, because the client side of
the tests always connects to $serverhost, the IPv6 entries are useless.
All they're doing is letting in connections we don't want, contrary to
the clear comment just above this.

I propose the attached, which removes the unnecessary entries
and puts full control of the IPv4/IPv6 decision in one place
(well, two places).  The test will still always connect over IPv4,
but at least there's now a clear route to changing that if
someone wants to.
