iouyap SIGSEV when IPv6 localhost hostname present in /etc/hosts

[dovideh]

On Arch Linux iouyap will fail to start any images when you have ipv6 localhost defined in /etc/hosts

::1 localhost.localdomain localhost jenkins

Using host libthread_db library "/usr/lib/libthread_db.so.1".

perhaps unrelated but the function has a bug. From the manpage:
BUGS
gethostbyname() does not recognize components of a dotted IPv4 address string that are expressed in hexadecimal.

A workaround would be to comment the entry in /etc/hosts

iouyap is going to be replaced by uBridge in 2.0, hopefully uBridge won't have the same issue.
