if node==NULL when calling getaddrinfo(), the results are not sorted correctly

in the attached test case, you can see:
$ gcc gai_bug.c && ./a.out 4242
this is an IPv4 result
this is an IPv6 result

it should have returned the IPv6 result first

I do not see anything about returned values order in:

Comment 2 Jan Kratochvil 2012-11-27 18:04:00 UTC 
OK, sorry, there is gai.conf.
