+The gethostbyname4() lookup method is problematic since it fires out both
+the A and AAAA DNS queries in parallel and over the same socket. This
+should work in theory, but it turns out that many cheap DSL modems and
+similar devices have buggy DNS servers - if the AAAA query arrives too
+quickly after the A query, the server will generate only a single reply
+with the A query id but returning an error for the AAAA query; we get
+stuck waiting for the second reply.
+
+For gethostbyname4() users affected, disabling IPv6 in the system might
+work around the issue, unfortunately it only helps with applications
+using AI_ADDRCONFIG (e.g. Firefox); some (notably e.g. Pidgin) neglect
+to do that.
+
+Real fix should be using separate ports for the A and AAAA queries.
