Comment:

 This fix in stem isn't sufficient, here are the other common Tor configs
 that bind to 'localhost':

 {{{
 ORPort [::] # IPv6 equivalent of 0.0.0.0
 }}}

 {{{
 ORPort [::1] # IPv6 equivalent of 127/8, but it's only a single address,
 no netblock
 }}}

 And here are other rarer configs that are non-routable:

 {{{
 ORPort 127.0.0.2 # or any address in 127/8
 }}}
