Package: libc6
Version: 2.10.2-2
Severity: important

The eglibc implementation of getaddrinfo() for passive sockets
(AI_PASSIVE) breaks established functionality when used with
address family AF_UNSPEC. The resulting code is only able to
listen to IPv4 under eglibc-2.10.2. This contradicts expected
functionality, and it also contradicts the statements and the
example found in the manual page getaddrinfo(3).

The artifacts in this alleged bug are not faults per se,
but rather a change of default configuration which is
very well handled by a programmers care. Now closing
the report since there is nothing needing a change.
