[Bug libc/5460] New: glibc-2.6+ returns too many results from /etc/hosts in some cases

["vapier at gentoo dot org" <sourceware-bugzilla at sourceware dot org>]

if /etc/hosts looks like:
127.0.0.1       localhost localhost4
::1             localhost localhost6

and you lookup "localhost6" with getaddrinfo(), the function returns "127.0.0.1"
and "::1"

glibc-2.5 and older operates correctly and only returns "::1".  glibc-2.6 and
newer will in addition incorrectly return "127.0.0.1".
