I don't remember having touched anything in particular, but I can't
exclude it totally. This is a fairly recent lenny-install upgraded to sid.

Yep, tunneled via sixxs:

No; first line here is an example of a non-existing nameserver, to simulate
unreachability.
lucab@thetis:~$ cat /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 2001:1418:10:2::12
nameserver 8.8.8.8
lucab@thetis:~$ grep -v '^#' /etc/gai.conf
lucab@thetis:~$
> How do you test that? Using "getent ahosts"?
With above described setup, it is directly observable
as every apps stop resolving names, but even getent shows that:
lucab@thetis:~$ getent ahosts www.debian.org || echo bad
bad
