BOPM takes over the IPv4 address parsed by the CONNREGEX from the ircd.
If it doesn't pass the correct IPv4 address or something invalid to
BOPM, it segfaults. I'll forward this to the upstream developers.

However, I think that IPv6 is mentioned nowhere (there are few IPv6
proxies) and that it is a bug in your ircd (I see a DNS name instead of
an IP in the logs you provided -- which is wrong).
