 Thanks toralf! Pattern now

 supports Gentoo] and since your output had IPv6 addresses I was finally
 able to add

 basic IPv6 support to get_connections()] as well. The later isn't as
 complete as I'd like in that it simply includes IPv6 addresses if present.
 No doubt some resolvers need extra arguments to surface them.

 Tips welcome to expand our IPv6 support. Also, if you have netstat or lsof
 output with IPv6 connections I'd love to expand our unit tests.

 One last thing - in the example you gave above I don't understand the
 format of the 'beam' connections (for example **::ffff:5.9.158.75:5222**).
 Seems it's an IPv6 address mashed together with an IPv4 address? At
 present Stem treats those lines as being malformed.
