Re: [Sipwitch-devel] Interface Does Not Accept 0.0.0.0

[David Sugar]

I am guessing that all default (bind all interface) addresses have to be
passed to eXosip_listen_addr as NULL, and hence that I need to convert
"0.0.0.0" to NULL along with "*" and the others that are already done
this way in stack.cpp:#820.  This was probably why I originally
converted ::0 and ::: to NULL when I was doing ipv6 testing.  I think
this exposes a second bug related to exiting cleanly also.
