I realized after posting that if the IPv4 port is bound by another process,
then the attempt to bind to the IPv4 port in bind6only_check() should return
-1, and hence the result of bind6only_check() will be 0, even if the os allows
the IPv6 and IPv4 ports to be bound independently of each other.

This looks like a potential bug, but I haven't investigated properly to be
sure, and I'm extremely busy just now (as well as not being very experienced
at this).

If anyone else has a chance to look at it before I do, please let me know.
Otherwise, I'll check it out when I have time to build a version of FreeSWITCH
with debug symbols and run it under gdb.
