Hi!
There seems to be issues with the IPv6-code in wget 1.10 when running
on AIX 5.1. It seems that invalid flags are passed to getaddrinfo by
default:
--------------------8<-----------------------------------
% wget http://ftp.acc.umu.se/mirror/ftp-about.html
--14:58:37-- http://ftp.acc.umu.se/mirror/ftp-about.html
=> `ftp-about.html'
Resolving ftp.acc.umu.se... failed: Invalid flags in hints.
--------------------8<-----------------------------------
When specifying only ipv4 or ipv6 it seems to work as intended
(the machine has no ipv6 enabled, nor does ftp.acc.umu.se).
--------------------8<-----------------------------------
% wget -4 http://ftp.acc.umu.se/mirror/ftp-about.html
--14:59:15-- http://ftp.acc.umu.se/mirror/ftp-about.html
=> `ftp-about.html'

Resolving ftp.acc.umu.se... failed: Host not found.
--------------------8<-----------------------------------
Since we don't have ipv6 enabled, we compiled with --disable-ipv6 as a
workaround.
I'm not getting any wiser by looking at the AIX getaddrinfo manpage or
the wget sourcecode, so I have no patch to solve the problem. Any
hints/patches/ideas are welcome. If you need additional information,
don't hesitate to ask.

Is it a bigger crime to rob a bank or to open one?
