 When Tor is configured with

 ORPort "[::]:9001" so on default linux it is configured
 to listen on both v4 and v6 sockets.

 and obfsproxy configured to run in managed mode:

 ServerTransportPlugin obfs2 exec /usr/local/bin/obfsproxy --log-min-
 severity=debug --no-safe-logging --logfile=/var/log/tor/obfsproxy.log
 --managed

 we get:

 Proxy environment:
 [...]
 or_port: '127.0.0.1:0'
 [...]

 If we add a v4 only OrPort
 OrPort "0.0.0.0:9001"
 it works as expected:

 [...]
 or_port: '127.0.0.1:9001'
 [...]
