I can also confirm that this is an issue.  I posted a thread on this a while
back that is now dead, thank you for the info above, it will help me to try
to formulate a patch.  It looks to me like this is an error in the way it
decides whether to send it to the local machine or direct.  Instead of
sending the connection direct, it directs it to localhost which works for a
redirected host or a localhost connection,  but not an unredirected remote
connection.  With SSH all traffic is redirected to localhost, but it should
not be with remote connections.
