I'm not sure what caused the chaneg, but I assume you probably want to
open a "udp:200" peername instead to fix the issue.  :200 is fairly
generic and doesn't specify the actual port type you want, so IPv4 was
probably assumed.  But that's not really safe behavior (especially as
IPv4 slowly goes away).
