solaris and Remote Port Forwarding

Hello,
I just upgraded from 2.9p2 to 3.0.1p1 and good news.  I don't have to
patch channels.c to get Remote Port Forwarding to work.  That is
fantastic.

It appears, however, that -g still doesn't work.  I checked the archives
and it doesn't look like anyone has mentioned it yet.

What does work is if I ssh to a machine I can telnet to localhost on
the forwarded port, but connecting to the remote host on the forwarded
port from another host doesn't work.

netstat -a reveils:
localhost.4000             *.*                0      0     0      0 LISTEN

so it is still just binding to localhost instead of INADDR_ANY.

p.s. This first test was on Solaris 2.6 sparc, and I am about to rebuild
     on Solaris 7 and 8, but I don't expect different results.
