Thanks for reporting this.

It seems that this has been broken for almost 2 years, so perhaps this 
option is not often used :D

I'd be interested to hear what your use case is for it?

I'll have a go at fixing it, but it seems there is an interaction now 
with the '-nolisten tcp' default which makes this not quite straightforward.
