I'm willing to work on programs written in C that have this problem.
It's not like I can fix them all but if someone brings a package to my
attention I'll get it working ok on IPv4 only (as a start).
To me they really should of left gethostbyname() alone and used some
other function for AF-indepdendent calls. They only did one of these
things :(
