[dns-operations] Bind v6 TCP listen?

Is there some specific configuration magic that I’m missing to make bind listen to TCPv6 sockets?

Looking at what it’s doing via lsof it seems to not be listening to v6/tcp:

named   909 named   20u     IPv4              24571      0t0      TCP 204.42.254.5:domain (LISTEN)
named   909 named   21u     IPv4              28306      0t0      TCP 127.0.0.1:rndc (LISTEN)
named   909 named  512u     IPv4              24570      0t0      UDP 204.42.254.5:domain 
named   909 named  513u     IPv4              24570      0t0      UDP 204.42.254.5:domain 
named   909 named  514u     IPv6              28319      0t0      UDP [2001:418:3f4::5]:domain 
named   909 named  515u     IPv6              28319      0t0      UDP [2001:418:3f4::5]:domain 


My configuration is fairly straightforward, including manual listen-on segments, e.g.:

        listen-on { 204.42.254.5; };
        listen-on-v6 { 2001:418:3f4::5; };
