fetch http://localhost:6666 hangs

[Mikhail Teterin]

Hello!

I just noticed, that on my recent "6.1-STABLE #4: Thu Jun  8" amd64 system
attempts to connect to a bogus port (like 6666) hang instead of failing
with "Connection refused" immediately, as they on other systems.

Why would this be? There is nothing listening: ``netstat -n | grep 6666'' is
empty. The ipfw rules are very simple:

	00200 pipe 1 ip from any to 172.21.128.43 dst-port 2049
	65535 allow ip from any to any

While fetch is trying to connect, the tcpdump prints:

% tcpdump -vvv -i lo0 port 6666
tcpdump: listening on lo0, link-type NULL (BSD loopback), capture size 68 bytes

Meanwhile, a "healthy" system prints:

% tcpdump -vvv -i lo0 port 6666
tcpdump: listening on lo0, link-type NULL (BSD loopback), capture size 68 bytes

Any clues? Thanks!
