[Iftop-users] iftop-1.0pre2 doesn't resolve own ipv6 correctly

Just compiled the 1.0pre2 version (pre1 has missing counter_hash.h file).
Apparently the resolver for ipv6 has a problem with resolving local host
(do not confuse with localhost) own ipv6 address.
I.e. Here the host where iftop is being run has ip6 addres 2001:470:b4a7::102
(amagi.gbit6.net)

Iftop with dns resolution:
amagi.intr.gbit6.net
<=> cam.intr.gbit6.net
yamato.gbit6.net
<=> yamato.gbit6.net
 <http://pool-173-79-27-59.washdc.fios.verizon.net>
same situation without dns resolution:
10.1.0.102
<=> 10.1.0.101
2001:470:b4a7::102
<=> 2001:470:b4a7::11

It's as if it wrongly uses the fqdn resolved for the remote host.
Resolving of remote hosts that have ipv6 addr works properly.

A simple mistake I guess?
