It's a problem with KMRCL, too.

Only after changes in KMRCL _and_ TBNL you could access the
socket. At the moment just a stream is available. And without the
socket no remote address. :-(

By the way: Beware of open ports! KMRCL doesn't listen on a
specified device. When using mod_lisp or mod_proxy the port is
accessible from the outside. But I can't think of any security
problems regarding this fact (atm).
