Nothing to worry about.  As it turned out I used a not IPv6-enabled
version of tcp_wrappers.  Updating to the latest IPv6-enabled
tcp_wrappers fixed this issue.

Important side-effect:  This new OpenSSH release also uncovered two bugs
in my IPv6 implementation in Cygwin 1.7.  I'm about to fix them.
