Yes, I'm afraid this leads in a pretty straight line to the getaddrinfo() implementation and details of the glibc.

** [bugs:#1346] resolver error**

libcurl has a resolver bug that requires some conditions to trigger:
* libcurl tries to resolv A and AAAA records
* DNS response is too long to fit into a UDP packet
What happens:
* libcurl sends two DNS UDP requests, one for A record, one for AAAA record
* libcurl receives one truncated UDP response
* libcurl sends TCP request
* libcurl receives TCP response
* libcurl sends TCP reset, ignoring the response
Everything works just fine when querying only A record (give option -4).
A capture demonstrating the problem is attached.
