Each server in the --bind_address option list
passes through the
function user_server_port_strn_assign() (in perdition/server_port.c)
which separates the user, server and port components. This function
does not recognize IPv6 address literals as documented in RFC 3986
(i.e., IPv6 addresses enclosed in brackets.)
For example, address literal [2001:db8:1000:1::2] will be separated
into "server" [2001:db8:1000:1: and "port" 2] , which are
syntactically incorrect and will produce an error in getaddrinfo().
The enclosed patch adds IPv6 literal handling.
(A workaround is to use a "naked" IPv6 address with the port
specification, e.g., 2001:db8:1000:1::2:110 , but this is a) ugly
and b) not standards-compliant.)

Thanks Ian,
I have pushed this change and I intend to include it in 1.19.
