tincctl localhost timeout

[shikkc]

 First off, thanks to all who have made tinc possible and continue to work 
 developing it. I hope perhaps in time I can become a useful part of this 
 community. :) I'm having an interesting issue with tincctl and was hoping 
 someone could shed some light on it. Everything seems to work correctly when 
 I build for OSX; however on linux and windows builds, I always receive 
 connection errors. Net and hostname changed, and copyright info left out from 
 versions to save space.

 Variant on a second host, running a newer build, and IPv6:

 I likely would have written this off as just being something still in 
 development and not working yet... but I also built tinc on an old iMac that 
 was recently gifted to me, and all tincctl commands work fine! Of course now 
 that I see it works I long for this wonderful functionality on my linux 
 machines at least (I could care less about windows actually). There are no 
 firewall rules blocking connections, and obviously tincd is listening... is 
 there something very obvious I'm missing here?
