Can you clue me in on this one please Henrik?

Why/What broken remote external clients are sending the reserved
ANY_ADDR as the public global-scope destination? This seems to me akin
to connecting a remote servers port 0.

Side-note: How can we expect wildcard port bindings to work on those
machines when the ANY_ADDR (wildcard) IP is aliased to localhost-only?
