--- Comment #2 from dewi jones <dewijones92 at gmail.com> ---
ah nice catch.
But surely the following two statements contradict eachother? 

> The bind_address of “localhost” indicates that the listening port be > > bound for local use only, while an empty address or ‘*’ indicates that > the port should be available from all interfaces.

> By default, the local port is bound in accordance with the GatewayPorts setting.

An empty address' behaviour is governed by the second statement and is
not necessarily "available from all interfaces"

Many thanks
