It's definitely non-deterministic, unfortunately. I do have a reliable
reproduction for Bionic and Focal I can trigger on my laptop, but it's a
huge pile of proprietary Ruby code that just happens to hit all the
right timings on my machine. I can validate a -proposed package if you
need though.

The reproduction instructions basically boil down to "Have IPv6, call
getaddrinfo(), and if you're unlucky, it will take > 5 seconds and make
4 DNS queries instead of two".

There is also a test case provided in the upstream glibc patch that
could also be applied.
