RE: IPv6 issues with ares_getaddrinfo()

Hi!

Interestingly enough, I am not able to duplicate the issue when using
the curl binary any longer; in my initial testing also calling through
the curl binary failed, several recompiles later that is not the case.
Using the unpatched libcurl.so file does still fail my testing binary,
so there might be some setup that differ.

Setting it to "host!" and the IPv6 address of each interface (2a06...)
gives me a "failed to connect: Error" (28) after a timeout, for all
connections, the same that I get for HTTPS when not specifying. Using
"if!eth0" gives me the same, whereas "if!eth1" does succeed to go
through (with IPv4, I assume). Using "host!" and the IPv4 address of
each interface succeeds.

So, in summary:

  iface | host!IPv6 | host!IPv4 | if!name
  ------+-----------+-----------+---------
  eth0 | error | OK | error
  eth1 | error | OK | OK
  eth2 | error | OK | error

libcurl reports (strerror [CURLcode]: CURL_ERRORBUFFER):
"Error [28]: Failed to connect to license.microanalytics.org port 80 after 15201 ms: Error"
