System: NetBSD dhcp0.wlan.shagadelic.org 1.4U NetBSD 1.4U (DR-EVIL) #349: Tue Mar 14 19:04:53 PST 2000 thorpej@dr-evil:/u1/netbsd/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/DR-EVIL i386


>Description:
	getaddrinfo(3) fails badly when it encounters a server which
	doesn't understand AAAA addresses (i.e. you get "Server Failed").

	Instead of moving on to try the A record, it returns total failure
	to the caller.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Use getaddrinfo(3) against a server which will return "Server Failed"
	in response to a AAAA query.

>Fix:
	Not supplied.
