No it's a bug reported by Laurent Dolosor and fixed by Krzysztof Oledzki last month, it's just that I have not released a new release with that alone yet. I think I'll have to find some time to release 1.3.15.8 this week-end. If time is enough, I'll try to also backport my work on the doc.

If you want, you can download patch 1d62e33b0108a1da634c1936605235635df3081d on the git web interface ("[BUG] Fix listen & more of 2 couples <ip>:<port>").
