            Description

            When launching minecraft 1.5.2, I can connect to an IPv6 address (using the usual [aa:bb:cc::1]:12345 format). When launching the 1.6 prerelease, minecraft fails with "java.net.SocketException: Protocol family unavailable".

            I use the new launcher in both tests.
