Please include 'curl -V' output when reporting bugs.

In this case, I guess that you run an IPv6 enabled curl. It turns out that we
only support --interface for non-IPv6 enabled versions for some odd reason I
can't explain... I think it has something to do with that some of the
functions we use don't work for IPv6 addresses, but that should then be a
run-time choice, not a build-time one as it is now.

This needs to be addressed with patch. I might be able to look into this
during the upcoming or the following week. If someone else does it before
that, I'm grateful for all assistance!

Thanks for your report!
