cactoss> 4.0-RELEASE
Please update to 4.1-RELEASE. 4.0-RELEASE's getaddrinfo(3) has DNS
query order problem and it was fixed in 4.1-RELEASE.
Or, at least you should update libc/net/getaddrinfo.c and
libc/net/name6.c
I don't know why getaddrinfo(3) fails for localhost query, exactly.
However, probably updating to 4.1-RELEASE fixes your problem.
cactoss> I tried to look at the sources for telnet. In file commands.c:2292, there's

The variable `family' is came from command line of telnet. If -4 is
specified, telnet tries only AF_INET. If -6 is specified, telnet
tries only AF_INET6. Default is AF_UNSPEC, that is try both IPv6 and
IPv4.
cactoss> Could you please take a look at `ifconfig lo0`:
cactoss> lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
cactoss> inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x6
cactoss> inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128
cactoss> inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000
cactoss> Does it look okay?
It seems fine.
cactoss> One question. Firewall rules apply to both IPv4 and IPv6, right? There
cactoss> shouldn't be separate rules to IPv6, should there?
No. Rules for IPv6 is set separately by ip6fw. Firewall for IPv6 is
enabled by specifying `options IPV6FIREWALL' in your kernel config.
