Bug#435646: libc6: resolver considers IPv6 enabled when any IPv6 address is configured
Please note that this bug is now fixed in glibc 2.9, with the
implementation of unified lookup. Both A and AAAA address are looked-up
at the same time (starting with the A query), and the resolver does not
choke anymore on a missing AAAA answer.
However the behavior of the resolver will be restored to the one in
glibc 2.7, as some even more broken DNS servers are getting confused and
only answer to the AAAA request with a broken answer.
