 --dest=::1:1025 server ::1:1024

 "::1:1024" is not a great way to write the IPv6 address ::1 plus the port
 1024, since it also looks exactly like the IPv6 address ::1:1024 (that is,
 0:0:0:0:0:0:1:1024) .

 It would be better to have the format be "[::1]:1024" -- lots of things
 use that for writing an IPv6 address together with a port.
