That was my best shot. Something appears to be preferring IPv6
over IPv4. I'm on 12.04, but the server 'edition'. There is a
preference section to /etc/gai.conf but I've never changed
anything there (mine are all defaults e.g. commented out.)

You could try:

     nmap -p 3306 --reason -n localhost
     nmap -6 -p 3306 --reason -n localhost

and I'm guessing you'll get a response on both. I just added
the :: bind-address on my box. Before doing it, the 2nd command
above failed (it was set to 0.0.0.0.)

To answer your original question, it's not a MythTV issue. But
there are some IPv6 mavens here, so you might get an answer.
