If there are IPv6 addresses associated with the name being looked up then getaddrinfo() will retrieve it and it will be first on the list and if getaddrinfo() is not being told to only retrieve IPv4 addresses you are likely to be in a situation where it will get an IPv6 address and it will try and use it. That's what Rick was trying to point out.
