Thanks for the update.

The getaddrinfo manpage on Ubuntu 9.04 has text.

"Specifying hints as NULL is equivalent to setting ai_socktype and
ai_protocol to 0; ai_family to AF_UNSPEC; and ai_flags to (AI_V4MAPPED |
AI_ADDRCONFIG)."

I notice there are two getaddrinfo manpages, section 3 and 3posix.  I
didn't spotted that before.

The section 3 manpage correctly documents the glibc implementation.  So
I the manpage part of this bug is fixed (or wasn't a bug to start with).

Thanks for raising the glibc bug, it'll be interesting to see the
reasoning behind the deviation from the POSIX standard.
