 IPv4 works fine with a  low port number (445 in my case), but IPv6
 doesn't.

 Config:

 ORPort 445
 ORPort [2001:db8:a:b::c]:445

 [warn] Could not bind to 2001:db8:a:b::c:445:
 | > | Permission denied

 Now when I change the IPv6 port to a higher number everything works fine:

 ORPort [2001:db8:a:b::c]:4445
