That is my understanding as well.

 From Prem's description of the problem, it looks like the ACE_INET_Addr 
in question is the one initialized in ACE_Pipe::open(), with:

   ACE_INET_Addr local_any  (static_cast<u_short> (0), ACE_LOCALHOST);

Apparently this yielded an IPv6 local_any which was then rejected by the 
SOCK_Acceptor.
