By default, epmd listens on all available network interfaces. However,
if it's executed using the following command line (in a Bourne Shell),
epmd currently listens only on the loopback interface:
$ ERL_EPMD_ADDRESS='' epmd
FreeBSD PR #158357 is an example of how this can lead to unexpected
behaviour in practice:

The following patch lets epmd ignore ERL_EPMD_ADDRESS if it's set to the
empty string:
git fetch git://github.com/weiss/otp.git ignore-empty-epmd-address
