memcached unable to bind to an ipv6 address

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. memcached -l ::1

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
- Expected is that memcached binds to the interface

- Actual result
Invalid port number: ":1"failed to listen on TCP port 11211: Success

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.4.15 on Ubuntu 12.04

It does work in Debian 6.0 (memcached 1.4.5) but not with anything newer I 
tested... 

Please provide any additional information below.

Work around is to use an IPv6 only DNS name as parameter to L

Pull request https://github.com/memcached/memcached/pull/98

allows to specify IPv6 address without port or IPv6 address enclosed in [] with 
or without port (RFC3986 style recommended by RFC5952)

-l IPv6
-l [IPv6]
-l [IPv6]:port

This is a serious defect/flaw.  When will it be fixed in an official release?

Same problem here! I am unable to run memcached in a Dual-Stacked network 
environment!

I know that it's not really a solution and this still needs to be fixed,
but running memcached on 127.0.0.1 and haproxy on external ip's with
127.0.0.1:11211 as a backend is a workaround.
