A friend of mine dared to let me on his Redhat 8 machine today and I had a go
at this (thanks Mats!).

It turned out that they've changed the return code for the 'buffer too small'
error. Previously it was ERANGE, but with this 2.2.93 version it clearly
returns EAGAIN.

With my attached patch, curl seems to be working fine again on Redhat 8, even
when built without IPv6 support. I did some basic tests and I've tried this
patch on my older linux machine and they all seem to work fine.

I'm interested in comments on how this works for you.

This problem is a linux-only one.
