Hello,

this is Debian bug #698092. Bug report and patch by Samuel Thibault:

----------------------
Hello,

After enabling ipv6 on a hurd-i386 box, I couldn't send mails with exim4
any more:

LOG: PANIC DIE
Unable to get IP address for lo interface: 1073741846 Invalid argument

Digging a bit, it seems it would actually also happen on Linux if it
didn't have SIOCGIFCONF_GIVES_ADDR . It happens that GNU/Hurd's
SIOCGIFCONF does give the address, so the attached patch sets
SIOCGIFCONF_GIVES_ADDR on GNU/Hurd too, which fixes the issue.

Samuel
