[issue1282647] socket.getaddrinfo() bug for IPv6 enabled platforms

[Bert Vermeulen]

Bert Vermeulen <bert at biot.com> added the comment:

This is not a python bug, but a bug in the underlying libc. A simple
getaddrinfo() call in C exhibits the exact same behavior. It has been
fixed at some point; I see this bug on Centos 3.3 but not on Centos 4.4,
for example.

I've attached a small C demo that will fail on Centos 3.3, but work on
more recent platforms.
